Name: Derek Valent

Street Name: Phantom

Race: Human. Sex: Male. Age: 22

Description:

A capable and versatile mercenary, Phantom is able and willing to do nearly any sort of run a Johnson will throw at him. Derek is the son of Benton Valent, the famed former founder and CEO of Valentia Consumer Products, a very prosperous subdivision corp of Renraku well known to it’s ties to organized crime and UCAS military political conspiracies. Derek hated the shady megacorp backstabbing, even at a young age. Eventually, after the absorption of Valentia by Renraku and the assassination of his father, he left home, erasing all records of his existence, and using his cut of the family monies to start a career in the shadows. Don’t get him wrong, he’s no hood, just a man who chose his own life.

Notes:

Despite a lack of experience in the business, Phantom is always of a cool, professional demeanor while running the shadows. However, some view this as cold, and indeed, he often (though not always) chooses to work independently, even when other runners are assigned to the same run as him. This is not truly because of any dislike of or contempt for his fellow runners, but due to his solitary nature.

Devin avoids most cyberware, believing it takes away from the human edge. He does, however, sport a pair of cybereyes. The irises are a fierce, almost hypnotic gold color. So natural is the effect that this detail only dawns on most long after he’s gone, or as they stare down the muzzle of his gun as a bullet is headed between their eyes. It is rumored that this was his eye color even before the implants, and that some untapped magical force flows through him, but none know for sure.

CONTACTS & INFORMATION

(Level 1)

Del Revlan-Elven Fixer; Reclusive but exuberant. Del is amiable, and it would go against his code of honor to betray his customers, but, for the right price, anyone could forget.

(Level 1)

Omake Chan-Yakuza Decker; Professional, but with a sense of humor. Omake Chan translates to ‘Special Nickname’.

(Level 1)

Ark-Johnson; Mysterious, even for a Johnson. Is conversational and appears trustworthy enough, though.

(Level 1)

Ray Palazzo-Auto Mechanic; Owner of Palazzo’s Auto. Also well-known for his abilities in less-than-legal modifications.

(Level 2)

Michael Valent-Renraku suit, John’s brother; Michael disapproves of Derek’s occupation, and their relationship is touch-and-go, but he helps him when he needs it.

(Level 2)

Devin McKelleon-Shadowrunner, Red Mage, Part-time Fixer; Little is known about Devin. He calls himself a ‘Red Mage’, and appears to run the shadows for the mere ‘fun of it’. Always cheerful and confident, Devin seems at home in any situation. Beneath this carefree demeanor is great power, and a greater mystery. He has been reported several times by eyewitnesses to have died, but when asked about it, he just grins mischeviously…
