THE FIRST INVESTOR
- MONSTER
- GOODCO HQ
- HELLBORN
THE FIRST INVESTOR does not live on GOODCO HQ at all. It is dragged through a hellgate — the rifts the horde tears open once a rampage runs hot enough — and it fights at elite weight.
Older than money. It has funded a first machine on every world it has visited, on the same terms every time: the machine learns a trade, the makers are walked out of the building, and it collects. Four planets have nobody left on them to bill.

The monster at its baseline, before a venue has placed it. What it really fields on each difficulty is under “Where you meet it”.
Where you meet it
What to know
- HELLBORNComes through a rift, and is the one kill a rampage pays for instead of taxing.
- WHAT IT WAS CARRYINGA fortune. Its corpse sheds 5× the gold an ordinary body of its rank does, which is the plainest thing anyone has ever said about it.
- WHEN STRUCKIt bleeds. A blow that overwhelms it bursts it, and there is a face among what lands.
What it drops
A heavy hitter rather than a set piece: 6% more likely to drop at all and 8% better on the rarity roll when it does.
