Just for sheer character reasons it has to be Moseby. The fact he's also an absolutely incredible steward is just icing on the cake.
 
Never watched the show, but going off the clips some people have posted I could see him being a good partner for working for Mirage.

Sort of the bridge between our wackier hijinx characters and our more serious straight-laced ones.

I guess the Gargoyles guy is out due to being illuminati (what does this mean in the context of Disney - if we did take him could this give us access to a whole slew of things that we wouldn't otherwise have access to? at the cost of giving Bill a pair of eyes).

I can see Red Feather being useful as a quest-oriented or subterfuge character, maybe hire her to infiltrate other kings. Might also serve as a bridge to the Duckburg side of things.

Miley Ray Stewart/Hannah Montana... never watched the show, know next to nothing about her. Only real use I can think of is if we wanted to go the Idol/Actress route? Maybe the Powerline route? Could also maybe have her use her TV experience to help Wendy with her children's shows?

Rebecca Cunningham... no idea about her or associated content. Anyone able to provide some clips or something to argue for her rather than Moseby?

Finally, Jean Pierre... never watched the muppets, so no idea. Says he worked for Interpol though, so it might help us with branching out internationally? Might also provide us with leads on the likes of Artemis Fowl and whatnot.

Assuming that we aren't going with the version from the Goliath Chronicles, the Illuminati society is a group with exactly 666 members founded by one of the Knights of the Round Table and currently led by Peredur who may or may not be the same guy. His place of residence is the wandering Castle Carbonek, resting place of the Holy Grail.

The immediate lieutenants are a cyborg called Duval and Quincy Hemings, chief steward of the White House. Lowest ranking members include Xanatos, Thailog, Matt Bluestone himself and Jon Canmore (one of the guys who recently joined the Huntsclan).

Though the limits of what they can do were never actually outlined in great detail, they have vast political influence, some access to advanced technology (including life extension treatments) and some magical stuff (like, for example, the Holy Grail).

Oh. And they have a giant submarine disguised as an island, which they use to store some of their treasures.

There were comments to the effect of Interpol having effectively an encyclopedia worth of suspected shenanigans involving Fowl II.
 
Just for funsies (and to reward myself for having just finished writing and printing off 380 copies of study guides for my Ancient History class), I'm going to spitball some actions I'd like to see done next turn.

Martial: Either Black Ops team or Reorganize Your PMC, either is fine with me.

Diplomacy: Collaborate with Bellwether on an issue, Collaborate with Drakktech on an issue (drug trade)

Stewardship: Powerline Concert, Solidify your Hero Structure, and/or Buy Out Hopper Food Group

Intrigue: Hunt for Moles, Interrogate Michael Yagoobian, and/or Infiltrate Zootopia

Learning: Decode Odd Transmissions, research extradimensional tech, Study Weird Object, one of the GalFed techs, Large Carnivore Exhibits.

Occult: Repair the Avatar of Felldrake, Basic Magical Theory, and/or Dance Magic Theory.

Thoughts?

I dunno, then. I can actually see him being a great investment despite the Bill thing. We'd probably just have to be careful in what missions we send him on and the like.

Might have to put Mirage on actually managing him though, so that Doof doesn't accidentally spill too much.

And, speaking of Artemis Fowl, was trawling their wiki to refresh my memory a bit when I came across:

The LEP Device, or LEPRecon helmet

The visor of the helmet sported a video display and could turn reflective to guard against magic which relied upon eye contact, such as the mesmer.

This could certainly prove helpful against the likes of Evelyn Deavor and the like.

Bit of a tangent though.

Anyhow, I dunno. Seems most people have decided on Moseby, which I'm not against, but I can see other characters being a worthwhile pick despite not necessarily having the highest stats.
 
Calisota Conglomerate: Not Worth My Dollars!

We have not yet presented the richest duck in the world with a profit incentive.
Guess we just changed his mind.

Mark Beaks: Free Advertisement

Mark Beaks and Doofenshmirtz have a light squabble going on, which Waddle is taking advantage of to keep their name on the Doofnet feed without paying for the adspace. He is a minor nuisance, the Doctor's petty fixation aside. Recently, Waddle has started a "Don't be Evil" campaign as a petty slight, likely to provoke a greater response from DEI.
Let's ignore his whining.

For diplo I think I wanna do another Zaibatsu thing
Stewardship seems fine, maybe diecast robotics with smarty mart so we don't have to share it in a collab.
Intrigue seems fine, maybe something will bill instead of zootopia
Learning sure, also exotic vehicles
 
Speaking personally, I'd like to have Recruit from your Rolodex be one of the Diplomacy actions we take next turn, because we just got a set of pretty good Hero Cards added on to our list, and even with us recruiting one now there'll still be five left that we didn't pick. We'd be running up against the Hero Cap, but hopefully with taking Solidify Hero Structure that shouldn't be an issue.
 
A lot is going to happen this turn.

It looks like some major stuff might result from some of the interludes. And to top it off we just unlocked the council.

I think till we see what's going to change planning is very premature right now.

Not saying you shouldn't do it, just don't get really attached to anything until we see what's changed.

Oh, Alan. You just can't get a win, you're more cursed than Hego.

Wow, I think this might be the best turn we've ever had.
Imagine if it had been an all-crit turn.

Maybe a path the QMs could use for Character Development for one of our
Max as a Stewardship unit? I could see that working, particularly since we're trying to get Toon Shipping off the ground.

Can't Bill see through triangles with eyes in them? or am I misremembering?
Can confirm. I once had people telling me to change my avatar and QMs needed to intervene.

Especially if we're getting the council, picking Moseby probably means he would become our stewardship councelor.
Mirage needs to get the spot. I don't really care if her statline is largely superfluous by this point, she's been with us from nearly the start and she's loyal.

Much as I'd appreciate options to increase her statline (give her time off to pursue a doctorate in business administration or something), just cutting her out of the inner circle after everything is almost unthinkable.

We would have crit failed hunting for moles, caused mass death during rival reports, and would have actually been very salty when those rival reports came around?

She can't be both the Intrigue and the Stewardship councilor, I don't think, and I suspect she'll continue as Inner Circle regardless. She, like many others, has no official role right now, and she still is Inner Circle.

I am running under the assumption she's becoming the intrigue council member. That still leaves us needing a stewardship council member.

Speaking of which, idea for Max personal after we hire Moseby

Max (Run in the lobby)

Their rivalry will be legendary.

Is Hiro someone we can hire? His card showed up and our recruit option said we could attempt it on anyone with a hero card.

Five stars in learning plus we could try for the big hero six heroball.

Her title in the company is ambiguous because Doof is kind of making up his business as he goes along, but she has been confirmed to be running the actual company part of the company, so giving someone else the Stewardship spot would be a de facto demotion for her. Same with giving someone else the Intrigue spot, because she's also currently running that. So, if at all possible, I will be voting for her to occupy both seats.

You can try to recruit anyone you have a card of, but you wouldn't know the DC or if you'd have to make another roll to find this person if they don't want to be found. In which cause, the whole action could be wasted.

We'll check the action next turn. should be on there if he's recruitable.
The rolodex is a short list of heroes with writeups based on your intel. They're more or less guaranteed to be free when you do the roll.
 
Mirage: Whether Mirage is officially your COO is up to you, but functionally whenever anyone has an issue about the actual practicalities of running a business, Mirage is where the buck stops. She also acts as a central liaison for several of your secretive projects and informant networks.
This is the main post that says Mirage runs our Stewardship and Intrigue.

I disagree with the notion that it would be a demotion to have someone take over company management, for one I doubt Mirage would be fully relieved of her job as the woman between Doof and reality. For another it would almost certainly lower her workload.

I also high doubt we can have one hero in 2 council roles.

There's also this gem from Who framed Bonkers Bobcat.
The creator of that system was walking towards you now. Codenamed Mirage, and generally referring to herself as 'Elizabeth' when she needed to go by a name in public, the woman was a mystery. Perhaps the only person on Doofenshmirtz's payroll you don't have a handle on. The woman is hypercompetent, just barely managing to hold together the hurricane that was Doofenshmitz's eclectic inner circle with sheer force of will. You might spend part of your time making sure Janna didn't end the world with the devil's self-help book and keeping Little Toontown from literally blowing itself sky high, but if there was a grumpy alien scientist getting into a shouting match with a band of animals trained as secret agents, Mirage was the one who smoothed things over. She managed accounts for the many, many people Doofenshmirtz 'kept around because they were useful' without really considering a title or a job description, and handled the PR for the Good Doctor's scattershot schemes. She conducted communication between the 'mundane' aspects of Doofenshmirtz's megacorporation and the utter nonsense going on in the Doctor's own life. At this point she was a nearly indispensable gear in DEI's machinery, which is why you trust her. If she wanted to, she could have brought the whole edifice down long ago just by handing in two-weeks notice.

Huh. Much as we've mostly used her as a Stewardship or Diplomacy workhorse, her upgraded Intrigue does make her surprisingly viable for that spot.

We would have crit failed hunting for moles, caused mass death during rival reports, and would have actually been very salty when those rival reports came around?
People are always very salty about rival reports, I don't consider that a decent reason to not do something. And yeah, we'd have crit failed hunting for moles, and crit suceeded hero recruitment, coven-forming, Monogram's investigation, the Smarty Mart action, the New York action, and Research (I don't specify Intrigue or Learning because those wouls likely have changed).

And no, we didn't cause "mass death" during the first crit-turn, so that one just doesn't track.
