Furthermore, Aston-Roth's character is highly ambiguous, as it's unclear whether he's just a successful businessman or the reincarnation of a devil well-known for centuries in Christian tradition. In any case, his intentions go far beyond the stock market, touching on spiritual and personal issues that even involve Julia, which further complicates the situation.
