The Brewmaster was the big bad? I always saw him as the only available alternative the company had to keep things operational. Molluck was M.I.A. after all, and the Board of Executives for the Soulstorm Brew Project had all spontaneously combusted. The only management remaining in the brewery amounted to the Brewmaster himself and a handful of Junior Executives, who were more concerned about selling their remaining stocks than preventing another terrorist insurrection.

He wasn't a big bad. He was just a lower-class gluk trying to do a job entrusted to him. And he failed something severe.
I agree. I saw AE as trying to widen the world and express more about Industrial culture as a whole, rather than simply Molluck as a villain. So there isn't a singular villain that must be defeated in the game.
