 '''Pantheon Industries''' is a multinational conglomerate based in [[Caphiria]]. It acts as the main holding company for a number of subsidiaries, offering products in the chemical, life-sciences, materials science, pharmaceuticals, and energy sector. Pantheon has 100,000 employees worldwide with annual revenues of $90 billion.
-Pantheon emerged in the 1880s from the Katta Fishing Corp. which had gained immense value after gaining a monopoly on the global tuna market by exploiting fishing zones in the Omnian Sea. It was owned by Georgis Kattapoulos who had previously published his philosophical work "Society at the Dawn of the 20th Century", after which he began to restructure his company, rebranding it to Pantheon while beginning to acquire not only smaller competitors but also businesses which he deemed visionary or "seminal for society". By the time of Georgis' death in 1922, Pantheon had incorporated nearly all agricultural and life-science companies until an antitrust suit forced the company to split apart in 1977.
+Pantheon Industries traces its origin to the late 19th century as the '''Katta Fishing Corp.''' which had gained immense value after gaining a monopoly on the global tuna market by exploiting fishing zones in the Sea of Canete. Its owner, Georgis Kattapoulos, had a "spiritual awakening" in 1899 which led to his self-publishing of  "Society at the Dawn of the 20th Century" in 1901, after which he began to spend most of his wealth building, buying, or investing in businesses which he deemed visionary or "seminal for society". In 1920, Georgis spun off Katta Fishing Corp into a new company, [[Katta Seafood]], and restructured the existing company into Pantheon Industries which would serve as the head for his new vision. He spent the last 9 years of his life devoted to funding the development of drugs for the treatment of infectious diseases and died only weeks after one of his funded companies discovered the antibacterial effects of penicillin.
-Today, Pantheon Industries has diversified its portfolio and is still dominant in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and bio-science sectors. The current chairman of Pantheon Industries is Oiksi Iivostner, who was appointed in 2021 after the ousting of the former chairman Bob Dole.
+Pantheon Industries would go on to spend most of the 20th century as a leader in the pharmaceutical industry, pioneering the commercial manufacture of morphine and for a time held a monopoly on cocaine production, as well as manufacturing war essential products such as narcotics, vitamins, biocides and other chemicals.
+Today, Pantheon Industries has diversified its portfolio and is still dominant in the pharmaceutical, chemical, and bio-science sectors.
