Nikola Tesla
1856–1943 · Architect of the Modern Electrical World
He powered the modern world with alternating current, held over 300 patents, and envisioned wireless energy a century before anyone else. Edison took the credit. Westinghouse took the profits. Tesla died alone in a New York hotel room with nothing but his brilliance and his pigeons. He mastered the forces of nature but refused to play the games of men who exploited him. A Grithosian controls what matters, the work, the craft, the vision, and understands the cost of ignoring everything else.
