Able Team
Hunter
Real Name/Alias: Michael Joshua Whitmore/Unknown.
Age/Nationality/Metatype/Gender:42/UCAS and Tir Tairngire/Caucasian Night One/Male
Distinguishing Physical Features:Dark blue fur and eyes, allergy to sunlight as is common with all members of his metatype.
Griffin CIN:000-000-0001
NPC rating: Ulitmate, magically active with the capacity to summon most spirit types and cast spells without drain.
Position inside Griffin:Chief Executive Officer (CEO)
Area of Operation:Primary North America, mainly UCAS and Tir Tairngire
Specialities:Hand to hand combat (10th dan black belt), magic(very high grade initiate)
Psychological Traits:Compassionate, Responsible, Detail Oriented, Loyal
The CEO of Griffin Industries is a former Ares Firewatch officer who's been in the business since the mid fourties. He's obviously been involved with our late president Dunkelzahn at some point of time because Mr. and Mrs. Whitmore were nearby when the dragon 'vanished'.
If the rumor mill is to be believed, Hunter was personally involved in the extraction of Knight Errant troops from Chicago when it exploded in their face back in 2055. In addition, he's also been seen operating everywhere from Germany to Dublin (that's Tir na Nog) to Boston to Miami to Seattle.
Hunter's style is very straight forward. He deals directly with whatever the situation at hand, not usually relying on tricks or fancy plans. He also takes care of his own.
Recent reports have shown that all forms of spirits (be they elementals, nature spirits, watchers, whatever) have shown this individual a great deal of respect. On at least one occasion he has been refered to as the "Overseer of the Metaplanes". And if that isn't bad enough, he's also a Tir Prince.
Gamemaster Notes: Hunter is one of the most powerful mages of the sixth age. Rating a double digit initiate and trained personally in the magical arts by the great dragon Dunkelzahn, Hunter knows (or is known by) most of the great dragons of the age. In addition, the title of "Overseer of the Metaplanes" is hardly honorary. Hunter can cross into the metaplanes without confrontation by the Dweller, can call upon aid from any spirit in the vicinity (consider this a control test for the summoning magician), and call upon the aid of both Tir governments.
Hunter is hardly an unknown among shadowrunning circles, often relying on magic (usually physical mask and disregard spells in combination) to hide his identity. As an ally, he's capable of pulling out impressive resources and making short work of opposition. As an enemy, they can expect their life span to drop precariously.
Mr. Kobioshi
Real Name/Alias:Ishkibbile/Unknown.
Age/Nationality/Metatype/Gender:35/Carib League/Orc Exotic/Male

Area of Operation:North America.

Psychological Traits:Articulate (does not use contractions and everything must be spoken completely), Unfettered.
The "fixer" from Miami learned his trade in little Havana, where he became a runner for one of Miami's biggest drug lords. Always completing a job, once taken. He worked his way up the ladder finally becoming a "fixer". He was away when his family was finally broke by the law. He was not connected to the family.
GameMaster Notes:
Phoenix
Real Name/Alias: Crystal Lynn Whitmore/Unknown
Age/Nationality/Metatype/Gender:40/UCAS and Tir Tairngire/Caucasian Elf/Female
Distinguising Physical Features:Waist length flame red wavy hair and green eyes, allergy to sunlight
Griffin CIN:000-000-0002
NPC rating: Ultimate, magically active with the capacity to summon most spirit types and cast spells without drain.
Position inside Griffin:Executive Officer (EO), Public Relations Department Head
Area of Operation:Primary North America, mainly UCAS and Tir Tairngire
Specialities:Negotiation and deal making (etiquette), magic(very high grade initiate)
Psychological Traits:Calculating, Loyal, Intelligent, Reserved
Phoenix seems to know most or all of the great dragons. In addition, she's been seen in the presence of Lofwyr on more than one occasion. The nature of their reported discussions suggest a possible teacher/student relationship.
What we can confirm about the relationship between the two is that Lofwyr actually introduced Phoenix to her husband back in early 2050. In addition, Phoenix was known to operate in the European shadows. Much like her husband, she seems to be someone special in the spirit world. The title of "Guardian of the Metaplanes" has surfaced on at least one occasion, and like her husband, she's a Tir Prince.
Gamemaster Notes: Unlike her husband, Phoenix deals through secondary sources. Phoenix is a manipulator of events, falling back to direct confrontation only when the situation demands it.
In addition to being a double digit initiate, Phoenix was personally trained by Lofwyr and operated in the European shadows primarily keeping tabs on Alamais.
Phoenix knows, personally, virtually all of the great dragons and is on friendly terms with them (exempting Alamais, of course). In addition, she keeps in close contact with her old teacher. As the "Guardian of the Metaplanes", she can cross into the metaplanes without confrontation by the Dweller, can call upon aid from any spirit in the vicinity (consider this a control test for the summoning magician), and call upon the aid of both Tir governments.
Phoenix tends not to work the shadows, often directly involving herself only in the rarest and most dire of situations (such as the extraction of Knight Errant troops during the initial outbreak of Bug City). As an ally, she's capable of pulling out impressive resources and making short work of opposition. As an enemy, she can (and often will) force her enemies into hopeless positions.
