Darren Wilcox – Corporate Wage Mage
Darren Wilcox is a former Street Shaman done good, at least in his eyes. After a year or two running with the Greenlights (a small downtown Wiz-Kid gang), he was recruited into Universal Omitech (a AA rank corp, specializing in Biotech and Gene research). He’s spent the last year ‘living the high life’ as a member of their corporate security division.

Criminals:
Sakka Hong – Former Yakuza Soldier/Smuggler
Yakuza defectors usually don’t live very long. Sakka is a rare exception. Sakka used the information he gained while working as a guard during cross Atlantic drug runs to acquire some of the routes. He runs drugs, BTLs, and weaponry (both guns, and the ‘archaic’ kind) – along one weekly route known as the Eastern Path.

Sakka actually managed to buy his way out of the Yaks. After he saved the life of his former boss he was given permission to form his own clan. Rather than stay in the Yakuza organization, he went off on his own—with the blessing of his former boss.

Louis Verrcetti – Mafia Soldier
Louie V. is a mid-rank mafia bullyboy for the O’Malley family. He keeps his ear to the ground, and will often pass on choice tidbits, due to a break that you gave him during your years on the force. He will not, however, pass on anything threatening to himself.
Doctors:
Richard Hollis – Street Doc
“Doc” Hollis runs a small clinic just outside of downtown ‘center’. The clinic does primarily patch jobs, emergency resuscitations, and minor cyber-surgery. He is one of a very few street docs in town to keep a competent magical healer on staff.

Doctor Henry Pym – Street Doc
Doctor Pym runs a small clinic just outside of downtown ‘center’. The clinic does primarily patch jobs, emergency resuscitations, and minor cyber-surgery. He apparently was fired from ‘legitimate’ service due to some sort of addiction, and works out of temporary facilities, acquired as needed.

Fixers:
Agular “Agggie” Smith – Personnel Fixer, Mr. Johnson
Aggie Smith has been around the block when it comes to Shadowruns… from both sides of the bargaining table. Rumor has it that he had a fairly successful career as a Face that allowed him to get out of the biz early. Since then, he’s been arranging runs for anyone that can afford him.

|
Aggie is not your average Johnson. At meetings he often comes off as some sort of punk kid, with his leather pants and band-du-jour tee-shirts. But he brings one thing to the table that most other Johnsons don’t… brutal honesty.

Alexander – Fixer/Fence
Alexander is a tech gear fixer and fence that works the metro Seattle area. Through (what must be some pretty impressive) means, Alex is able to get his hands on quite a bit of near-mil-spec hardware… usually security devices and vehicle parts… and always in an impressive amount of time. The price, however, is rarely negotiable. Alexander also works on a strict schedule, maintained by his personal assistant Persephone.
Arn “Two Tusk” Anderson – Fence
Two Tusk is a gear and hardware fixer and fence headquartered in “The Mall” – the central ‘hub’ of the orc underground. He deals almost exclusively in last years hot gear, the newest weapons to hit the streets, and the latest in corporate ‘cast-offs’.

Illeanna “Foxy” Fox – Fixer
Foxy is a high-tech electronics fixer based in Seattle, who specializes in top-of-the-line, high tech merchandise. She deals with clients in a far more personal way than most fixers prefer to. Bottom line is that if you treat her right, she’ll give you access to the wiz toys most people can only dream about… for a price.

Johnny Wang – Fixer
Johnny Wang is an oleaginous, untrustworthy weasel. On the up side, he makes no bones about this fact, and doesn’t pretend to be something that he’s not. He operates out of a heavily-armored and incredibly well-stocked basement vault beneath a Chineese takeout in downtown Seattle. If you want to buy something, Johnny’s the man to see (as long as you don’t have any moral bones about dealing with a Triad man). Somehow, Johnny can get nearly anything – if it’s fallen off of a truck somewhere, or somewhen, Johnny can get it for you (he’s never been able to explain how a citymaster can fall off the back of a truck, however).

He’s one of the best rookie deckers in the locale when it comes to illicit data searches.

“Crazy Ron” – Snitch
“Crazy Ron” is a squatter who resides in Downtown Seattle Center. Though daft, unkempt, and unintelligent at a glance, he’s actually quite shrewd, and very good at keeping his ear to the streets. An excellent source of underworld, gang, and street information – but be warned, anything you say can and will be passed on to anyone who asks!

Ernie works as a part time bouncer at many of the rougher clubs in downtown Seattle.
