The Disruptors are the central antagonist group in this event, though they are only referenced indirectly through Andi’s final email and Helen’s revelations. As the recipients of Andi’s threat to expose their secrets, they are collectively implicated in her murder. Their involvement is inferred through the email’s contents, which names Birdie Jay, Duke Cody, Claire Debella, and Lionel Toussaint as the group’s members.
