We've seen that when a Great dies (Big D!), that big things can happen, but we've also seen that it can kinda vanish (Nightmaster) ...
As a side note, the death of Nightmaster/Nachtmeister happened in US products mostly, if anything, to maintain continuity with German products. In German products, NM death is the trigger to the
Shockwellen campaign, an Ares-Proteus corporate war, a Thor shot, and a consortium of AAA and AA megacorporations taking full control of Proteus. It can be also considered as the starting point of S-K current efforts to achieve full control of Germany.
