The Marc of today is the trafficker.

Trafficking or Human Trafficking has much the same definition either side of the fence, except, assuming it’s organised without breach of Pardon, which would be naive, the trade is legal. Humans are marketed as feed, catalogued by grade, the lower the grade, seven to one, the finer the product and the greater the IC value per unit.

Via an impressive stitch up of regime Marc wholly dominates the industry and the diet of all lay demon. To enforce the Pardon, ITO, the Infernal Trade Organisation, monitor rates of Gross Oblivion of Damned Determinant, GODD, which tally real-time, Earth-based statistics clocked every twenty four hours starting at eleven fifty five pm. Should GODD levels cap a non-disclosed figure, suspected to hinge more on Lucifer’s mood than statistics, whomsoever dealt the kill will be shipped off to Level 9.T. Treachery.

Marc’s first business move was to buy out two thirds of ITO.

He abducts in packets of five hundred, a number so obnoxiously below any conceivable cap figure it's popularised one of the best middle fingers presented to Lucifer. Managing a militant confederation, he pinches randomly from the span of human existence. Future, past and present. Other methods include importation from parallel spheres and immigration from inferno. Both less IC lucrative, parallel imports may be sold as a delicacy at grade two, whereas inferno immigrants, which are free to import but need several expensive sessions of necromancy, are so unpalatable they rank in at grades six and seven. Grade one are humans destined for demonhood, exclusive and trickily obtained, these are channelled through auction or passed directly to the most affluent of established patrons.

The catch which cripples freedom of hunt: only God, Adramalech, Amon and then Marc and his inner legion, have access to a log of date and quantity for each import. No other demon may be certain their kill may not be the very one exceeding ITO’s cap. Between House Morax and Lucifer the consumer has been railroaded to purchase from himself or dine beneath an umbrella of prickly paranoia. Ever the good sport he offers a high end service whereby the vendee may buy a segment of import log of up to a week on from date of purchase allowing them peace of mind to hunt freely. The offensively opulent may reserve up to six months.
