"Your technical director, and first partner- a wizard twice your age who saw the potential in what a Quiv could be and took you to new heights. He enabled you to establish 'The Network', a secure server through which government entities, large corporations, and privately held liabilities (ex: Gringotts) could communicate confidential information safely and without fear of hacks. He made it possible to capture wizarding images on your devices, and made them Pensieve-compatible. He is smarter than you, and you know it, but trusts your drive.[break][break]
Val met Liam in a bar, of all places, which is really quite a gas because neither of them drank very much or had much time to be spending in bars. Freshly incorporated, Val taken an appointment with his former boss, Benjamin Vance, in the hopes of establishing a relationship between their entities. Liam, an unspeakable at the time, recognized the face of the young man beside him from The Daily Prophet, which had just run an editorial on Hextra, Inc.[break][break]
Four years and many drinks later, Liam is the Technical Director of Hextra, Inc. It was his expertise and concepts that helped Valentino break in to the corporate market. Liam established the magic behind 'The Network'- this secure server, protected and sealed by the company, can be purchased by large companies or organizations for reliable, fast, and secure communications at all levels. Liam owns a generous amount of Hextra stock and was Val's first, and most valued business partner.[break][break]
Liam is an incredibly intelligent individual, and Val knew this from the moment they met. There is an air about the man that commands respect, but it is not laid in aloofness or vanity. He takes his work seriously, and truly believes that the contributions that Hextra, Inc. is making to society are historical and incredible. He is the careful reminder to Val about the importance of business loyalty, the company's reputation, and metered development. He is cautious, careful, and determined. He would rather plan and execute flawlessly than barrel ahead with gusto.[break][break]
Again, this is all an interpretive narrative. I'm just trying to put together a fun team. Let me know if you have any interest and what your ideas are. We can talk about it![break] Pictured: Liam Neeson[break][break]

"Your creative director- a mouse of a witch with large eyes and even larger imagination, whose vision made possible the modern designs of each new version. The newest Quivs remain circular, but are thinner, more durable, and come in a variety of colors. Their faces now have a holographic sheen, small buttons on the side for certain shortcuts, and customizable enamels that allow the user a level of personalization to make their Quiv truly individual. She was also the only one that originally agreed with you that Quivs must be made to send picture hexts, perhaps the largest and most controversial draw of the device to date."[break][break]
Christina walked into headquarters at 9AM on a Monday morning in 2018. She brushed past the receptionist at the desk, took the elevator to the top floor, and entered Valentino's office without invitation. When she walked out, she was a creative consultant for Hexta, Inc.[break][break]
Without needing much time or much ceremony, she has risen to the role of Creative Director- or as she prefers to say, Director of Creative (she says the aesthetic quality to the latter phrase is more palatable to clients). Since joining the company, Christina's initiatives have spawned new looks and feels for each version of the Quiv, while retaining an important loyalty to the brand she is continuing to shape. Christina's division (over 40 employees) oversees design, advertising, and public image, and she has proven she is fortified to handle them all.[break][break]
Christina is a divisive individual and highly polarizing. Most folks either love her or they detest her, and there is certainly a healthy mixture of both sides in her division and in the entire company. This is due in part to her straightforward brashness, her penchant for cruel honesty, and her hunger for success and forward development. She has taken Creative to new heights with her vision and raw talent, but her expectation that everyone work equally as endlessly and perfectly as she does has left many in her wake- her division has the highest level of employee turnover, but the greatest thrill of success.
As for Val, it depends on the day that you catch him. She is one of his most trusted confidants, a rarity from his reluctance to share much of his private life with anyone, and his respect for her is steel strength. But their disagreements are battles, for they are the meeting of two minds that will always think they are correct. It isn't uncommon to hear them screaming at one another from down the hallway, accompanied by the sound of shattering glass or breaking wood. When they agree, they are undefeated, but the path to consensus is long and it is bitter.[break][break]

"Your administrative manager- a bright, young wizard nearly fresh out of school, whose ability to quell disagreements matches his conviction to process and organization. He oversees the entirety of your company's employees, handling their salaries, benefits, pensions, and supervisors. He seems to know the answers to your questions before you pose them, and you rely on him for the majority of your day to day activities. He is capable, brilliant, and compassionate, and never forgets to give you time to rest, eat, or merely breathe."[break][break]
Nat did an internship with Hextra some time after he'd graduated Hogwarts. A young, bright kid with all the right grades and rounding activities, many people were expecting great things from him- a fruitful career in the Ministry, perhaps a company with a fortified reputation. Which is why they were met with great disappointment when he was hired full time by Hextra, Inc, at the time a rocky and controversial startup. Nat could not have been more pleased.[break][break]
It was a slow rise for Nat, who's first position included mostly quality-control shifts at Quiv Production. Val wasn't quite sure how it came to his attention that a teenager had reorganized the system by which Quivs are tested for sale- perhaps by the larger production numbers ready for shipment during the holidays when inventory was sparse. His curiosity was piqued, and after meeting with a very energetic Nat, whose clear and concise explanation of his new process was only two minutes in length but seemed to be done in a single breath, he promoted him to administrative services.[break][break]
Many frowned upon Val's decision to throw a 'kid' into administration- he didn't know anything about budgeting, management, or organizational development. At least, not at first. Nat took to the job like a breath of fresh air, and his natural energy, enthusiasm, and incredibly fast brain processing set him up for success. After shuffling back and forth under different branches, he landed as Christina's Administrative Lead, a position known for its soul crushing ability to break whatever individual held it. While Nat, never late and always smiling, initially annoyed Christina to no end, it was her sincere praise of his ability that indicated to Val the young man's true value.[break][break]
Now, Nat is Administrative Manager, a position considered much above the reach of someone Nat's age. With a photographic memory, a mind for processing, and a developed knack for profit and expense, he's taken to the responsibility given to him with great ease. His division oversees payroll, human resources, benefits information, and the divisional organization charts of management. Nat has a penchant for handling office disputes, arguments, and unfit expectations. While positive and optimistic, Nat's exterior has begun to shift to be more professional and tactful, assisting in his ability to be brief, frank, and harsh when necessary. Among his responsibilities, he keeps Val's personal calendar and accounts, a job he has done so well that Val would be remiss to think his day could fully function without him.[break][break]
