Overview
IMPORTANT! Runs using Dante Passini, Alessio, Charon, or any named NPC requires a Run Proposal. Runs that are simply placed at the Inferno, even on a private level by a run's Johnson, however, do not. GMs may give out named NPCs as a result of a Prime Run. These contacts are private to those runners and are subject to Thematics approval as per our GM rules involving Canon Characters. Happy gaming!
Owner of the club, Dante's Inferno, Dante Passini himself is rather a hard person to get ahold of; preferring to let the club run through his manager, Alessio. Nevertheless, he makes a point of keeping his finger on the pulse of the Seattle Nightlife as well as the shadowrunners who make their way through his door. Anyone with even an ounce of Street Cred is likely already on his radar and he is likely to already know their name, general motifs, and what they've been up to recently.
He is, rather clearly, something of an information broker and extremely tight lipped about secrets of other runners and organizations. Once someone earns his loyalty, however, he is a goldmine of knowledge - for a price. When dealing with the Devil Himself, it always comes at a cost.
GM Notes
- Dante is a master of secrets in Seattle and he stays that way by being exceptionally careful and tight lipped. He likely already knows why the runners are calling, and is unlikely to be willing to help unless it serves some purpose for him or the club.
- To anyone under Loyalty 2, Dante is a social connection. He simply does not trust them enough in order to give the runners anything worthwhile besides surface level information. The exception to this would be "Seattle Vice" and "Seattle Native". That is general enough to be discussed with anyone - so long as they deal with the problem of "You called me for this drek?"
- He is a complete hedonist himself, but at the same time, will not allow drugs, alcohol, or sex to influence his decision making process. He hasn't gotten where he is now by being careless.
- Dante being called as a contact on a run should be a Big Deal and he is likely to lose Loyalty for runners who call him with small problems they should be able to solve himself.
- Dante only trades in chips. Without fail - they pay, or they go.
- Dante's loyalty can only be raised by 1 on any given run. His trust takes time to earn.
