| Halvor Ingvarsson | Wanted | Wanted in the Scandinavian Union. | Yes | Talismonger | Custom(G,K,A,N) | 4 | 2 |
| Hamamoto Aki | Under the Bus | If Aki thinks talking to you will make her look uncool, she'll laugh at you like she doesn't know you and hang up or walk away. Roll Etiquette (with no bonuses from the table, this is about her friends, not her) with a threshold of 2 + connection and a bonus equal to your loyalty to get her to engage in the conversation. Failing this check ends the conversation. If you have loyalty of 3 or more, she will call you back within 24 hours when she is alone. | Yes | College Student | Custom(N,A,K,G) | 1 | 0 |
| Hanako Shinoda | Terrible Visions | Hanako is haunted by visions of many possible futures due to the strength of her gift. When contacting her, the GM secretly rolls 1d6. On a 1 Hanako may have information for you, but it is cloaked in prophecies about destruction and terrors soon to come. | Yes | Shiawase Seer | Legwork | 6 | 2 |
| Hank | Lone Wolf | Hank don't like to work alongside peoples, he is up to help in a lot of case where he could do job on his own. (Distraction, infiltration and such). Players need to succeed a negotiation + Charisma (Threshold 6-Loyalty) to convince him to go with the team. | Yes | Spec Ops PTT Killing Maching | Service | 1 | 5 |
| Hantu | Loyal to the end. Slow to trust | Several external groups has tried to take advantage of her homeland and the people there in. Causing her to be jaded as a result. Thankfully she is open to trusting others but it will take time and effort for her to welcome them with open arms. Hantu's loyalty cannot be raised above 3 outside run rewards. Due to her upbringing, the thing that has kept her around is her loyalty and faith in those that follow and support her. And anyone that would go against them goes against her. Hantu will not fulfill any request that would harm or endanger the Dayak Council, Ksatria, or Renraku. In addition anyone that has negative rep with Renraku applies that penalty when Hantu is performing tasks for them. If they have negative rep with the Dayak council, she burns them immediately. | Yes | Custom (N,A,G,K) | 7 | 1 | |
| Hanzō Furukawa | The Ordo Watches | Hanzō won't interfere with work that goes against the Ordo Maximus - that would be too obvious. However, anything he learns should be considered also learned by the Ordo Maximus, which may influence reputation with them. Additionally, characters with Hanzō as a contact are considered marked for burning while their reputation with Ordo Maximus is below -5 and they are not currently actively working to raise that reputation. While so marked, if Hanzō has the opportunity to sell the character out in a way that will potentially neutralize them, he does so: his Loyalty is reduced to 0, he is removed as a contact from them, and his previous Loyalty is added to the approximated Professional Rating of the danger/opposition the character will face as a result. | Yes | Arcanotronics Professor | Legwork | 6 | 1 |
| Harold J. Rutherford | Race Traitor Working Hours | Many dwarves stick to the general set of stereotypes that is the overarching tightly-knit, tradition-bound mainstream community most maintain. Harold went against the mold of the stubborn, insular, technically-minded dwarf. He's the life of the party, doesn't discriminate based on the metatype and hasn't held a tinkering tool once in his life. After being taken into the Horizon fold, he was essentially disowned by his highly traditional father he's got Daddy Issues with, something marriage to his wife Lois, a human, only exacerbated. As a result, he's disconnected from his extensive family and the old community he grew up in. Most dwarves take offense at this kind of betrayal, resulting in him being hated in those communities. A healthy balance between work and private life is paramount if you don't want to burn out. Harold doesn't, so he tunes out of business matters outside of normal PST office hours (9-5, Monday through Friday). Add +5 to the threshold of his contact availability test if trying to contact him at other times (very early in the morning, late in the evening, on the weekends). | Yes | Pathfinder Multimedia Manager | Networking | 6 | 1 |
| Harvey Sanders | Picky Dissemination of Information | Requires a negotiation check to gain information, depending on how it affects criminal organizations and/or law enforcement. Thresholds start at 2 and are modified by how they affect gangs/syndicates (major damage, -2, mild/moderate damage -1) and law enforcement (mild threat to LE +1, moderate +2, major +4). He will refuse to give information that directly target law enforcement. See examples below. | Yes | Infobroker | Legwork | 4 | 0 |
| Hassan Bahreini | A Man of Principle | Hassan has his principles, and they're straight forward. Loyalty may never be increased above a character's Notoriety score. If a Notoriety score jumps above the Loyalty rating, Hassan will stop taking their calls until something is done about their wicked reputation. | Yes | Political Networker | Networking | 4 | 2 |
| Heavy Metal | On Assignment to Mother Komodo | Now that Heavy Metal is bodyguarding Mother Komodo, his time is more limited. Any request for an active service support requires a contact availability test. GM may apply penalties to test based on time of day, or duration of time needed. | Pending | Bodyguard | Service | 1 | 0 |
| Hector Wells | Ares Macrotechnology Loyalist Dislike Awaken Hatred Infected: | Will never work against Ares Macrotechnology and will refuse to work with any runners who have a bounty with Ares Macrotechnology. If you contact him during a run and use the information provided to work against Ares Macrotechnology roll a loyalty check. if it fails he immediately burns you. if it succeeds you owe him a chip to redeem favor with him He has a low view of Awaken individuals and treats them with disdain. Treats his loyalty as one lower if the Runner is awakened Will never work with infected characters and if finds out that a runner is infected, he will immediately burn them. If on the other hand, they are carriers treat his loyalty as 1 lower and will never meet them face to face. | yes | Middle Manager | Fixer | 2 | 1 |
| Helena Iscariot | Cursed Luck | If Helena has to perform a check, roll a secret 3d6. On a glitch, the opposite result occurs. On a critical glitch, the runners' opposition somehow gets a leg up on whatever it is they tried to have Helena help with. | Yes | Networking | 4 | 0 | |
| Henry | There's No Rush | There's no such thing as getting a weapon delivered by Henry through a quick phone call. At a minimum, he'll give you priority as a customer if he likes you. If he doesn't like you... well, better hope you've got a few hours to burn. Even if you need to talk to him about something unrelated to his arms dealing, Henry will refuse to discuss things over a commcall; you'll have to wait 2d6 - Loyalty hours for him to open up shop and get you in to see him in person. If you're trying to get ahold of something with over 12 availability, increase this to 4d6 - Loyalty hours. | Yes | Discreet Weapons Dealer | Fixer(G,K,A,N) | 2 | 1 |
| Hez-kukra | Anger Issues Once Burned, Twice Shy Us or Them | Hez-kukra is easily insulted and generally abrasive, so if he detects even the hint of a slight against his business, his face, his family, his dog, you name it, he refuses to deal with you until you apologize and make some form of amends. Worse yet, even the slightest hint of bigotry against any marginalized group will put you straight in his dog house. A slight against Hez-kukra or his kin requires a favour or a monetary gift to make amends and any instance of bigotry will require double the effort. To raise Loyalty past 2, a run is required. The run needs to show a real, meaningful reason for Hez-kukra to trust the character. Loyalty can only be raised one rank at a time. Under no circumstances will Hez-kukra do anything they believe will harm metahumans (elves excepted.) If they learn that a character has dealt a significant blow to a majority non-elf metahuman group (gang, policlub, place of business, et cetera) decrease their Loyalty by 1. If Loyalty ever drops to 0, Hez-kukra will consider the character as an enemy. If they find out that a character has assisted with the targeted killing of metahuman civilians (even elves!) the contact is immediately burned and becomes actively hostile. | Yes | Sons of Sauron Fixer and Black Clinician | Fixer(G,N,A,K) | 5 | 0 |

| Honnie "Hun" Rogan | Of the People Rambling Study Iterative Collaboration | She will not knowingly aid anyone going against her neighbors, including those in local gangs or syndicates. Hun gets excited about most of her cases and will talk your ear off at any opportunity. When contacting her, the GM secretly rolls a D6. If they roll a 1, she gets lost in the weeds and will ramble for hours if not stopped with a Negotiation (3) or Intimidation (3) test. While quite excited to work with runners, she tends to view interactions less as straightforward requests and more as a group collaboration. If not carefully checked, the task or idea asked of her might "evolve" in a direction that she feels is either more effective, interesting or profound. Sometimes she even remembers to call back to update the team without needing to be called back. | Yes | Private Eye & Wannabe Fixer | Fixer(K,N,A,G) | 1 | 0 |
| Hotah Mahkah | Whiteclay Made Man | As a trusted Whiteclay mob member, Hotah will not move against his syndicate knowingly. | Yes | Whiteclay Mob Fixer | Fixer | 6 | 4 |

| Hyden Jones | Conscientious Objector | Hyden isn't exactly a pacifist, but he doesn't like violence.
