User blog comment:Raggon7/What is Tempest?/@comment-5774665-20130202060642

Since Tempest was responisble for sinking the Queen's Gambit ship, and their name is "tempest" and everything, I kind of got the impression that they were a group who's specialty is sabatoging ships, like a real tempest does. I know that's kind of lame, though. I do love the idea that they're some sort of Starling City corrupt rich people Illuminati. Either way, I'm sure they'll be a main focus of the show.
