Overview
Lucas "Pappy" Hansen is a lieutenant in the Seattle Cutters. He is one of the longest-running members in the Cutters, joining in the massive recruitment push following their decimation. Pappy joined the Cutters as a simple street thug, cutting his teeth (and losing his arm) in bitter fights with the Ancients to reclaim Cutter territory. As the Cutters grew in stature and became a more professional organization, so did Lucas. He moved up to lead a group of younger Cutters, now street security professionals. While he generally has a gruff and grizzled demeanor, he is shown to have a warm and caring personality for those he leads, leading to the nickname "Pappy". His group often provides protection for smugglers, shadow businesses, and downtrodden communities. While Runners provide (sometimes deadly) competition to this work, he prefers to see it as a friendly rivalry, and has some good relations with the Shadow Community. The cutters are primarily profit motivated, leading to him even loaning out members of the cutters as disposable assets, if the pay is right. Eventually, this led to his proper induction into the Shadowhaven fixer network.

Aspects
Aspect | Description |
---|---|
Money makes the wheels turn | Pappy is a man that works hard, even for shadowrunners and even for those outside of the gang. However, he'll work a little harder if some nuyen is provided to grease his gears. In addition to all standard costs, Pappy will gain a +1 dicepool modifier to his pool for each 1000 nuyen spent on his services. Similarly, gear can be spent as bribes for the same rate but only things that a ganger would reasonably take (guns, ammo, medicine, DRUGS). This bonus may be applied a number of times equal to the runners loyalty, however the full 1000 nuyen must be spent for each additional dice. |
Cutters Man from Cutters Town | You don't get to be lieutenant without getting a bit of pull. There's CFO's and all that, way above Pappy's level but his rank gives him a lot of pull within the rank and file of the gang. +2 for networking rolls within the Cutters and +2 for all cutters-related knowledge rolls |
Not an Alcoholic, an Aficionado | Everyone has their poison of choice and Pappy sure has gone through the list of poison. +2 to all gear rolls to acquire drugs and +2 to networking rolls amongst bar regulars and party people |
Doctors hate him, Arms Dealers LOVE him | Pappy knows a good number of people who deal in death. As such, he gets +2 to all networking rolls amongst arms dealers and cyberdocs, though such ware from cyberdocs will not come pre-installed. |
Old Man | Pappy is getting up there in years, something he plays up to make people under-estimate him or give him less work. Nevertheless, if he is given more than 24 hours to complete a task or deliver goods, he gains a +2 dicepool modifier on the test. Don't rush an old man. |
