In Gryffen House, Darius tells the team about Freddie Maxwell, aka "Freddie the Entertainer", a two bit hustler. According to Darius' contacts, he is the mastermind behind [[Crashclub]], old robots modified and forced to fight in an arena for the entertainment of rich "toffs". Gryffen congratulates Darius and hopes that at last he can put an end to the man who has made a mockery of his [[Thought Matrix]], a revolutionary robotic brain that allows a robot to think for itself rather than to be programmed.
