W. N. Topic: 5 Session: oral Abstract: I will summarize the properties of a special class of AGN whose low-ionization broad-line region is dominated by the accretion disk. I will emphasize recent X-ray studies and comment on the accretion modes, and speculate on the reasons behind the dominant contribution of the accretion disk to the Balmer-line emission.
