Samael seems an oddity in the runner community, approaching runs as the simple business they are. He is mercenary in every sense of the word but exacting when it comes to enacting The Plan and ensuring that there are no un-needed strings attached to the ends of any jobs. He dresses well and as a result looks more at home in Downtown or Bellevue than, really, anywhere else.

Edward Faraday 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.

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.

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....
