Unknown to 99, Nicholas Dimente is also the new leader of KAOS with a scheme to extort $250 billion from the United States Government using the weather control machine invented by Dr. Marcus Hottentot. Demente intends not only to extort the money, which incidentally he will use to publish his books, but also to create weather that will keep people eternally indoors and interfere with television reception, forcing millions of Americans to entertain themselves by buying Demente's books and publications. Portrayed by Harold Gould [TV Movie: "Get Smart, Again!"].
