Olivier's History

Olivier was born into an affluent family in Geneva, Switzerland. His father, a successful but ruthless financier, and his mother, a high-powered lawyer, instilled in him a deep understanding of power and manipulation from an early age. They taught him that the world runs on control—of people, money, and information.Despite the wealth, Olivier’s home life was cold and transactional. His parents were emotionally distant, often using their influence to control him, grooming him to take over the family business one day. From them, Olivier learned to value intellect over emotion, loyalty as a tool, and manipulation as an art form.Olivier attended prestigious schools, where he quickly rose to the top of his class. He was brilliant in subjects like economics, law, and technology, excelling in understanding systems of control. However, his charm was coupled with a sinister ambition. Upon graduation, Olivier used his family’s wealth and connections to launch Lacroix Industries. At first, it was a modest insurance firm that catered to the elite, offering tailored risk management services. His strategic mind and deep understanding of fear drove his success, quickly elevating Lacroix Industries into a powerful global brand.Olivier’s path crossed with Filip, a fellow business mogul who ruled his own empire with similar ruthless ambition. Filip, a business dictator in his own right, believed that the world should be shaped by those with the power to control it. Initially, their relationship was one of mutual respect, but soon, their different approaches to power led to conflict.Filip used outright violence and intimidation to control markets, while Olivier preferred manipulation and leveraging legal loopholes. Despite their differences, both viewed the other as a threat to their vision of global dominance.Their rivalry escalated into a literal war of business, where no tactic was off-limits. They waged cyberattacks, spread misinformation, sabotaged each other’s operations, and even used hired mercenaries to carry out attacks against each other's physical assets. The insurance industry, where Lacroix Industries thrived, became a battleground for both men.Olivier had no moral qualms about exploiting people to further his empire. He used corporate espionage to dismantle competitors, sabotaged policies to drain the wealth of his clients, and even started investing in criminal operations to ensure Lacroix Industries’ growth.A master of tech warfare, Olivier uses his position to access vast amounts of sensitive data, manipulating financial markets and personal lives to destroy anyone who stands in his way. The digital world is his playground, where he thrives on fear, secrecy, and control. Olivier believes that true power comes from manipulating people’s deepest fears—whether it’s fear of loss, uncertainty, or death. The insurance industry, where people willingly pay to protect themselves from the worst, is the perfect vehicle for his agenda. He views himself as a necessary force in the world, maintaining the delicate balance of control by ensuring that fear drives human actions.While he despises Filip's methods, Olivier secretly admires his adversary’s audacity and brute force. However, he believes the world must ultimately bend to the mind, not violence. He is determined to outsmart Filip at every turn, seeing their conflict as a battle for the future of global business and control.Olivier’s war with Filip is far from over. He has shifted much of his focus to destabilizing Filip’s empire through targeted cyberattacks, misinformation campaigns, and direct sabotage of Filip’s assets. In return, Filip has resorted to physical retaliation, using violence and coercion to try to break Olivier’s hold on the business world. Their rivalry has sparked global turmoil, with both men hiding their true intentions behind layers of subterfuge, while the world watches the two titans wage an invisible war.As the war between Olivier and Filip intensified, both businessmen escalated their tactics from cyberattacks and sabotage to outright military-grade warfare. At this point, the rivalry was no longer just about business—it became a full-scale, private conflict between two powerful men, each determined to destroy the other at any cost.
