Maddox Corp

Maddox Corporation is the name of the establishment Adena Maddox was going to inherit as the sole heiress in line.

The corporation is also considered to be the biggest financial donor and sponsor for OCU, as well as a formidable tech giant in the financial sector.

History
The company was originally a commercial excavation contracting agency formed by Adena's great grandmother, Anora Maddox. On the surface, the company helped several nations around the globe culturally thrive by assisting in the discovery of rare, buried monuments and artifacts.

Behind the scenes, Maddox was engaged in the illegal extraction and sale of rare minerals and ore in war-torn nations and developing countries. Their contracts were almost always with corrupt governments that allowed the pillaging of their own homeland's resources, in exchange for major bribes.

Eventually, the company's underhanded business model was dismantled and replaced by one of Anora's descendents, Amelia Maddox, who happened to be Adena's mother. Amelia discovered her family's tainted legacy and developed a strong sense of morality and justice in her life that drove her to redirect her business operations towards a less sinister, yet equally powerful direction: the credit industry.

Knowing that an age of political revolutions could topple her family's empire, Amelia managed to penetrate the card manufacturing industry by re-purposing a majority of the company's assets to serve most major banking lines and their credit needs.

Succeeding in this massive paradigm shift for her family's establishment, Amelia then began cutting ties to her family's former benefactors, earning her their contempt, coupled with their respect and fear for her executive powers.

Amelia, sensing fiercer and fiercer challenges to her seat from both within and outside the company, began investing in the tech sector to set her company on the path for dominating the digital economy, and secure its future by all means technologically available at the time. Beyond what the press was allowed to know, she even permitted her R&D teams to allocate enough resources to begin searching for ways to ensure nobody could physically threaten her chances of handing over her company to Adena at the right time, as well as guaranteeing her daughter's safety and guidance.

In addition to the company's massive operations and economic influences around the globe throughout its history, Maddox Corporation is also known for its unique rite of succession.

Matriarchy
In addition to its size and power, Maddox Corporation is also known for its matriarchicalleadership - every CEO that ever ran the company throughout its history was always a woman.

In Project LOV, Adena was slated to be the heiress of her mother's company and its next CEO upon graduation and completion of her training at OCU, as per her mother's wish. After Amelia's murder, Adena decided to dedicate a portion of her time there to investigate the circumstances surrounding her mother's death.
