A brief Overview
Pentex is a Wyrm-influenced mega-corporation. Its ultimate goal is to free the Wyrm from its imprisonment and bring about the Apocolypse. As a secondary goal, it seeks to fulfill the Wyrm's role in the Triat and bring about corruption and destruction whereever it can. While many of the upper echlons of Pentex management are somewhat aware of its ties to the Wyrm, most of Pentex's employees are simply hard-working people trying to eek out a living the best way they can. Pentex pays its employee's very well and most are loyal to the company (as long as the paychecks keep coming). Pentex is a mega-corp to the letter and has many divisions; all of which specialize in different fields. For example, O'Tolley's is a fast food chain owned by Pentex that sells very minor "wyrm-tainted" food products to the population as a whole to make them overweight and lose ambition (its the emotion the Wyrm is after, not so much the people); this allows Banes (Wyrm-spirts) to feed off those emotions and grow in strength and size so they are better able to resist the Wyrm's enemies (werewolves mostly). While seemingly very minor, its virtually undetectable and even werewolves cannot discern "Wyrm-tainted" food from the general "Wyrm-taint" many humans emit from the large amounts of pollution and animal-based products they use. This leads of course, to a growing population of Banes in the Umbra, something no rational werewolf wants. Pentex also has access to "First Teams"; specifically trained human soldiers (somtimes modified to be Fomori) who are intimately familiar with werewolves and their actions against Pentex. They are highly trained professionals equipped with all manner of anti-werewolf weaponry (silver bullets, silver edged knives, liquid silver grenades, heavy-duty animal tranquilizers, etc.) as well as access to top-line conventional military weaponry. While not immune to the Delirium effect of werewolves, they are trained to recognize it and therefore do not react the same way as regular human beings; they are werewolf hunters and general purpose "troubleshooters" for Pentex when money and diplomacy are not enough.
