Glitz and Dibber's Alliance — Organization

Description

Glitz and Dibber's Alliance is a duplicitous partnership acting solely to advance their own financial and survival interests. Operating as opportunistic mercenaries, they align with local warlords like Balazar and factions such as Katryca's forces primarily to facilitate weapons acquisition and resale, betraying allies and causing harm when it serves their immediate gain. Their loyalty is situational and transactional, shifting based on perceived threats and potential profit. The duo demonstrates ruthless self-interest, abandoning the Doctor mid-crisis despite his injuries to secure escape routes and preserve their stolen weapons cache. Their actions reveal a mercenary ethos where human collateral damage is acceptable collateral in pursuit of resource accumulation.
