Biography
Before founding Palisade, Ashani Talwar was heir to the Talwar Banking empire. She had an unrivaled mind for business which made her venture with Palisade such a success. Talwar when under thirty years old, was one of the wealthiest people of her age, as well as her husband. Contrary to her public image, Talwar is in fact ruthless and manipulative. She attempts to gain as much power and wealth as she can attain. One way that she does so is by keeping private information from clients such as the Picus Group close at hand, in order to use it against them. She and her husband were involved in the cover up of Simona Saridakis' murder, who was close to having discovered that Talwar and Oshiro were using clients' information for a massive insider trading scheme. Talwar and Oshiro subsequently had Saridakis killed to avoid the information becoming public, and instead used her death to promote the reliability of Palisade's security features. Stanton Dowd figured out what was going on, and blackmailed them with that knowledge into making their clients' private information available to an external party, namely the Illuminati.
