Overview
Nairn is an associate to many Transys SINners who seek to become influential executives. His role isn't front and center nor is it the most critical, but it's useful when someone wants to get a leg up on their rivals without dirtying their hands themselves. Some call him a bad hat due to the unsavory backstabbing he's involved in, but Nairn sees it as a simple profession to master, not an act of malice.
GM Notes
- Nairn specializes in internal corporate rumors but can know things of others as well.
- He expects payment from non-Transys SINners most of the time unless it directly benefits him.
- Rarely puts his own neck on the line for runners, but is willing to effectively be an infobroker.
