Evil Inc’s Cast of Characters

Tom Pennington
The man brought in as EVP of Ayvil Industries to run Ayvil Plastics in Dayton, Ohio, a struggling division that needed to be shut down to stop the bleeding. Pennington causes some real bleeding of his own by engineering the most callous and ruthless actions ever taken by any CEO. He is forty-three; smart; charismatic; great with communication; ruggedly good looking; and driven by ego, greed, and power.

Ken Olson
The plant manager of Ayvil Plastics, who is used as a fall guy while suffering the loss of his wife and children in a horrible act of violence. He is the hero of the story, on a mission to get to the truth and bring the guilty to a form of justice only they would understand.

Ken Olson’s brother-in-law, and a professional corporate spy. He helps Ken track down the bad guys.

Justin Hildreth
Schemes with Tom Pennington to create a giant empire.
