Mostly from the POV of Lohkyn the newly appointed Minister of Espionage in Golgoth's ministry so the reader is introduced to what's going on with him and has access to the information his position entails.

All of the characters are villains, Golgoth is the super villain overlord the rest his henchmen and minions, but rather than "good" and evil all have their own needs and goals which make them do what they do... some for what they see as the greater good.
