Overview
Danny Hoffman is a relaxed and easygoing man, happy to spend time with his friends and loved ones. He's also the regional coordinator for Ares's deniable operations. Shrewd and calculating beneath the surface, Danny is always working to create the edge his company needs to rise above its competitors. Under his command, rivals are torn down, oppositions discredited, and secrets stolen. There are few lines that Danny won't cross to succeed in the mission, and he's always on the lookout for enterprising new runners to serve the cause. With a wide network of information and contacts, Danny can be a valuable resource, but be careful to not be caught in his web.
Notes for GMing
- Danny is easygoing and casual when interacting with runners. He tries to treat them with respect, appreciating the value their work and skills can provide. He doesn't give off an overly "corporate" air. Still though, he is quite competent and focused on the success of the mission.
- Danny is always surrounded by a hand-selected, elite, cadre of guards. While he doesn't expect to be attacked at meets, it always pays to be secure. He has many enemies in the world.
- Danny tries to be straight forward about risks for the runners, to an extent, both from him and others. While he might burn the team if needed, he generally won't hide that chance from the team if it's there. He'd rather have an upfront and relatively civil relationship with the team, something he's found that makes things work better in both directions. If the need is there though, he will hide sensitive information and do whatever is required done for the job to be completed.
- Danny really likes grilling and smoking meats of all kinds. If provoked, he can go into long talks about barbecue, happy to enthuse with another fan. Occasionally he might bring samples to the team. He only cooks with quality ingredients. He has standards after all.
