As the largest banking and investment firm in the world, the Pacific World Finance Bank maintains what is possibly the largest and most complex computer systems in the world, all in network across the globe to manage the nano-second changes in strategy and handle billions of transactions every second everywhere across the world.

While Chairman Benny Yang would never deliberately create anything that might talk back to him, the size and weight of the systems he works so closely with made it almost inevitable that some kind of intelligence would eventually emerge from it. And when it did, the ever-practical Chairman gave it a name, 'Shuāng', and put it to work.

Less a ‘computer’ and more a sentient OS, Shuāng is present throughout almost all of PWFB’s systems almost all of the time. A less-emotional mirror of the Chairman’s own personality, Shuāng helps further obscure the line between the Chairman and his bank. It has taken on a near-religious status for many of PWFB’s lower-ranking officers with the strength of its predictive forecasting algorithms.
