This lasted a few years until Brant disappeared into the [[Obsidian Maze]]. Brant's nephew [[Damocles Everton]] had him legally pronounced dead, and inherited his uncles shares.

<!-- When Democulis (sp?... Damocles was Greek, and Democulis had 4 syllables) took over from Malphas, it was because he had become the majority shareholder when his uncle Brant disappeared (and was declared legally dead) and Democulis inherited his shares, and had obtained others (purchased in a shady deal with the help of unknown financial backers, likely from the Dark Circle, either before or after Brant went missing, I forget which) and thus had the most. Democulis' shares were obviously then revoked upon his death, as it turned out he was involved in his uncle's disappearance (and being made into an undead construct), and in betraying Obsidian Bay to invasion.
