Mundane Ascensions: 1

Summary

Samael seems an oddity in the runner community, approaching runs as the with as gentle a touch as possible. He absolutely understands the realities of doing wetwork but prefers to avoid, whenever possible, doing anything that would leave a trail or be described as 'explosive'. Given his druthers, he prefers to remain as out of sight as possible and will always opt for infiltration and disguise whenever available. He dresses well and as a result looks more at home in Downtown or Bellevue than, really, anywhere else. The inspiration for his name, given by an old dear runner friend, centers on his view towards death. While he knows the realities of the jobs he takes, he always opts for dignity and respect when to comes to a person's final moments.

"Most of us do not get to choose when we come to our end, but only how we face it. And perhaps, if we are fortunate, who we have surrounded ourselves with when it comes."

Goals

Trace EVO connections to try to find more information on his parents. Find and Avenge his parents murder. Run the shadows - after all, this is what real living looks like.

Background

Edward Frost was born differently - had he not been born into the absolute lap of luxury, he'd have likely ended up with any number of physical and genetic deformaties. Instead, thanks to his parents involvement in the Hildebrandt-Kleinfort-Bernal bank, a young Edward was shipped off to any number of EVO locations for genetic modifications and corrections. The results were straightforwards - the removal of the genetic issues affecting his birth, and, eventually the biotech which would make him be albe to keep himself safe as he grew up amid all his parents corporate entangelements.

What he didn't know, however, and still doesn't is that he is actually a second generation Shadowrunner. His parents involvement in the banks in London were their retirement and cover story for their wealth. They had hoped to keep their child from the life of the shadows, but when their past caught up to them it all ended up back in the shadows anyways.

His parents murder amid, what he thinks was, yet another corporate conflict all but forced him into the shadows; bankrolled by the family fortune, he took to running in order to avenge the death of his parents. It is that hunt which leads him towards Seattle....

Michael and Melinda Frost, apparent investment bankers and financiers.

Allies

Enemies

In Character Information

Symbols and Signatures

While Samael doesn't leave any particular calling cards, he is relatively known to be always dressed well which can make him stand out among runners. The all black SAAB Dynamit, however, often attracts a bit of attention.

Character Plot Hooks

Here are characteristics of the character that GMs may take advantage of to add complications to runs, or to otherwise use when in use. If you want to use them in unrelated to runs, please ask first.

Aspect Information Related Run(s)
Aspect 1 The Good Death: Sometimes things just need to end with quiet dignity. Angel of Death
Aspect 2 Old Money: Edward Frost is on the Board of Trustees of a small subsidiary bank associated with the Hildebrandt-Kleinfort-Bernal bank. Unknown to him, his parents built the fortune through shadowrunning and, somewhere out in the dark, is the EVO team that took their revenge.
Aspect 3 Edgerunner: As his essence lowers and lowers, he wonders how close he gets to the threat of cyber-psychosis himself. Birds with Clipped Wings
Aspect 4 The Faceless Man: Samael has a reputation for being able to get in places due to his False Face and near religious insistence on planning and legwork.
Aspect 5 Gentleman Adventurer: Despite the rigors of shadowrunning and doing wetwork jobs, Samael has a reputation for gentleness and manners that often extend to his targets as well.
Aspect 6 Bodyguard for Hire: "Sam Watts" is a licensed bodyguard with enough Matrix traffic to justify the Rating 4 SIN.
