Lenny Tuberose
Evil clone mastermind Lenny Tuberose lurks like a toxic ice spider in his Arctic command center, Pigdog Ice Station Two. He spends most of his time brooding and violating Nature's laws, but he occasionally fires off communiques to his flannel-shirted Canadian lackeys, who smuggle them across the border in maple syrup trucks to various Pigdog Journal article drops in the Lower 48.

The cough was accompanied by a searing pain in his chest, but the intimation of the mortality bearing down on him left no mark upon him. The viscid love letter from the cancer in his lungs quivered briefly and then was still. It seemed at home there among the refused and casually discarded constituency of debris. Shithole.
