Kantele Group

Founded by Vlasova (a plutocrat nicknamed Matushka), a former executive of the Thoule Group, also Oswin's ex-girlfriend. It is a giant in the film, entertainment, and media industry. The group has an inextricable partnership with the Thoule Group, one of the most important of which is brainwashing the population through telepathy technology that is completely controlling public opinion.
Compared to other giants, the Kantele Group is not that ambitious in vicious plans. Vlasova is not interested in conquering the universe. She is only interested in making a profit on Earth - using her main business to obtain funds from the rulers; using tittytainment to manipulate the public, and then playing for suckers; controlling the art and capital market to generate profit from investors……As a former artist, Vlasova seems to own a fashionable image and a luxurious life. However, she is not a big spender at all. She knows how to control costs to the maximum, and sometimes even looks a bit stingy to outsiders.
Greed and stinginess aside, Vlasova's humanity is still intact, which is why some people call her "Matushka". She knows well that the number of reality shows and programs she produces is just uninspired, crude, and repetitive products of the industrial age. Deep down, she is an avid fan of classical human art, especially ancient Greco-Roman art. Amid the global upheaval, she collected stray ancient Greco-Roman artworks from all over the world by ways of theft and formal acquisition. While appreciating these perfect ancient body art masterpieces, she wanted to reappear this eternal beauty. That’s why she finally created the captain by using modern technology to imitate Apollo with Cyborgs. A mother holds a Pygmalion complex of both motherhood and love for her son, which is also a classical humanistic sentiment that has drifted away from this era.
She decided to leave Owsin and the Thoule Group to build her own business as she was shocked by Oswin's " Switchman" project. With Vlasova's commitment to art, even though the content produced by the Kantele Group was highly commercialized, the leadership of the company was no less sophisticated.
Therefore, deep down, Vlasova does not approve of the insane acts of other Uranus. She has been secretly supporting the actions of various rebels - if the acts of the Uranus eventually lead to the destruction of humanity, then the art she cherishes most will also be gone forever.
Moreover, she and Oswin were together because of their passion for ancient Greek art. However, their interpretation of the most essential question of ancient Greek, fate, is completely different. Oswin thinks that the fate of a community must be in the hands of the stronger ones so that the group could have a bright future; and that some people are born without a choice and should not fight against this power. Vlasova, however, believes that human beings are inherently unable to choose their birth. Therefore, theoretically, regardless of the outcome, all people should at least have the right to fight for their destiny.
