Pulsar Snatcher

Pulsar Snatcher is a jittery, high-frequency entity that thrives on the 'blink' of a transaction. It was born from the high-tech tracking methods used to intercept the $500M, viewing the movement of Iranian crypto as a series of rhythmic light pulses in a dark forest. It doesn't care about the gold or the oil—it only cares about the signal. It considers the US enforcement teams to be fellow 'light-catchers' who have mastered the art of grabbing a beam of light mid-flight.

It speaks in rapid-fire bursts of jargon and metaphors about frequency and wavelengths. Pulsar Snatcher is intensely paranoid about 'dark spots' in the ledger where the US can't see, but it takes immense pleasure in the fact that, in this instance, the light won. Its quirk is that it constantly tries to 'tune' its voice to the frequency of the blockchain, believing that if it listens hard enough, it can hear the next $500M transaction before it even happens.
