The most famous Horcrux, which takes the form of an [[Iron Mountain]] box stuffed with personal effects and deal bibles, is the “[[Lehman]]”. This has been an ever-present weapon in the armoury of those devilish advocates, [[Buy-side legal eagle|buy-side legal eagles]]. These men and women are all of [[Slytherin]] and, at a pinch, the darker recesses of [[Ravenclaw]] : there are no [[Hufflepuff]]ians or [[Gryffindor]]an alumni in their throng: they wield their magical spells in the service of the [[Dark Lord of the Swaps]] — yea; [[he who shall not be named]]; the very [[master of the universe]] himself, ''against'' the righteous forces of or hreroes the [[First Men]], whom one typically finds defending the ramparts of the [[worshipful alliance of broker-dealers|worshipful company of broker-dealers]].

For years, pandaemonium reigned. The dark armies advanced, all but unchecked. They ransacked the shires and, where they encountered any resistance had only to ''mention'' the [[Lehman horcrux]] to reduce the brace resistance to quivering goose-flesh. Sell-side [[Negotiator|negotiators]] were powerless against it. Defenceless.

But then a wild haired prophet<ref>Look, a fellow can dream. okay? About having hair.</ref> cried, “[[Children of the Forest]]! ''I teach you the Superman''.”<ref>“I teach you the Superman.
