Intelligence reports had flagged a new adversary: a strategist who rivaled even the stepbrother’s former brilliance. Known only as *The Architect*, this figure didn’t rely on brute force or numbers. Instead, they manipulated perception, anticipation, and human psychology, turning allies against each other and sowing hesitation where trust should reign. This was a battle for the mind, not the streets.
