Keith Lighter

 was a firebrand broadcaster for Picus TV in 2026. His editorials were instrumental in drumming up support for suspending the Posse Comitatus Act in the early '10s, and advancing the Illuminati agenda. By 2027, he was asked to focus on pushing the anti-augmentation agenda on the air, to build support for punitive regulations that would contain the risk augmentation - and by extension, independence and free will - posed to Illuminati plans.

Not all of his rhetorical flourishes were perfect. Lighter was fond of pushing the "demise of republic" angle, often skipping the much more basic and appealing angle of terror threats. He was also known for his diva-like tendencies, much to the chagrin of the technical staff, who took to mockingly calling him "the queen".
