King of the Coffee Industry Turns out Crooked
As the owner and figurehead for Corporate Coffee Co. this peculiar eccentric business man has everyone fooled! His ever growing chain of coffee shops doesn't even serve quality coffee. It's all drowned in milk, sugar, and strange powders. And if only the public knew that he raised an army of the undead to do his dirty work and pollute the world!
But that's not all! Dabbling in dark technologies and magic has his body decaying. Will the netherworld maintain their modern day Faust, or will the marketing giant crumble like used up coffee grounds?
The Cult of Coffee
Corporate Coffee is known to employ an army of undead minions. It is suspected that he raises the corpses through technological means. A patent for experimental life giving nano-technologies is held under a suspected alias, though nothing has been confirmed. When out in public, it has become clear, however, that the zombies have an unquenchable thirst for caffeinated beverages. Many also work in the back rooms of his coffee houses. C.C. seems to have little worry about their being exposed to the public eye.
Most notable of all his minions are six that he keeps as his body guards at all times. They are referred to as Mocha Boy, Jo, Espresso Grind, the Bean Harvester, the Profit Reaper, and the evil HR Director. They have demonstrated themselves to be the most powerful of all his minions, commanding dark energies, and spewing forth toxic vomit on all their enemies.
The Corporate Arsenal
C.C. has a wide array of gadgets that he's used throughout his career to dispatch common nuisances, and arch rival business members alike. Most deadly of which, perhaps, is a wrist mounted dart launcher. It shoots darts filled with paralytic, and seriously crippling poisons. He also has had a small tube surgically inserted into his mouth, which can excrete a deadly toxic goo-like substance - either as a glob, or as a fine mist.
Dealings with the Devil?
In addition to all the venom-spitting gadgetry employed by Corporate Coffee, he has been observed commanding dark magiks. Witnesses on several occasions have claimed to see him 'steal souls' from his victims. As of late, he's also been surrounded by a dark cloud, and has a blackened mist coming from out his eyes!
It is rumored that C.C. has been working closely with Ghost Widow, and some would like to tie these two mysteries together. More theorists, however, are certain that something far more menacing is going on.

Factoids
- The first full service Corporate Coffee Coffee House, then known simply as 'The Coffee House', opened its doors in 1999. The man now known as Corporate Coffee worked there as a barista.
- It is believed that the first undead minion of C.C.'s, the zombie known as Mocha Boy, was a young employee of his at one of the first Coffee Houses. The investigation into the man's mysterious disappearance still goes unsolved, a fact that only propagates this horrible rumor.
- Not a single real flavor is used in any of the Corporate Coffee Coffee House beverages.
- Corporate Coffee started out as a very clean-cut, well to do business man. He was young, fresh, and ahead of his game when Corporate Coffee Coffee Houses started springing up all across the US. Only when he arrived in the Rogue Isles to start franchising there did he physically begin to decay. He went through a 'Gothic Period' donning a top hat and cape when he was still trying to disguise his disfigured face with make-up, but now nearly half his face is eaten away, and his arms have decayed to the bone. He removed the top of his skull, all of which was severely damaged, and very openly walks around looking like a mad scientist. Only time will tell how long this weak frame can support his genius mind.
