|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Marika | Persistent Conditioning | Even when you know you've been manipulated and abused, it doesn't stop it from affecting you, from being real. Marika has difficulties working against Saeder-Krupp or any Dragon if she does not have direction from a superior. For her to work against either, make an Edge + Loyalty test. At base, the threshold is 2. Depending on the situation and context, this can be higher though (GM Discretion). This is in addition to any normal considerations about if she wants to do the action. | Yes | Drake | Generalist | 8 | 3 |
| Mary Chambers | Race Traitor | In order to appeal to a larger audience in her starlet days, Horizon paid for her metatype reduction and trained her to suppress her cultural mannerisms. As a result she appear rather untroll-like, and has become disconnected from her old community. Most trolls and orcs take offense at this kind of betrayal, resulting in her being hated in those communities. | Yes | Bartender | Service | 3 | 0 |
| Mary Claire | Hard to Reach | Mary Claire often chooses different locations each and every night, and might have her comm disabled, or unable to hear it. Always do an availability test for this contact with their connection +3 than normal. | Yes | Fixer/Club Girl That Never Grew Up | Fixer | 3 | 2 |

| Maxwell "Max" Mourire | Rambling Study Iterative Collaboration Untimely Joke | Max is no social butterfly - he's got the unfortunate habit of making nerdy jokes at the worst of times. Lower the amount of 1s required to glitch or critical glitch when applicable by 2. While quite excited to work with runners (it makes him feel like a vigilante who can actually make a little difference for the better instead of a beat cop with the label of "that troggy nerd"), he tends to view interactions less as straightforward requests and more as a group collaboration. He just loves feeling wanted for a change. If not carefully checked, the task or idea asked of him might "evolve" in a direction that he feels is either more effective, interesting or profound. Sometimes he even remembers to call back to update the team without needing to be called back. Max gets excited about most of his cases and will talk your ear off at any opportunity. When contacting him, the GM secretly rolls a D6. If they roll a 1, Max gets lost in the weeds and will ramble for hours if not stopped with a Negotiation (3) or Intimidation (3) test. | Yes | KE Beat Cop | Legwork | 3 | 1 |
| Mayhem | The N stands for No Thank you! | Mayhem despises the N-51. Treat her Loyalty as two lower if you have a positive rep with the corporation.

If you develop a positive rep with those circles after buying her, she isn't lost, but clams up and ignores you until you change your bedfellows. | Yes | Weapons Specialist | Gear | 4 | 0 |
| Mike Tunney | Anger Issues My Grandkids Were Visiting | Like many coaches, Mike wants to see results and easily gets worked up when his people perform poorly. If the team fails a run or doesn't fulfill all objectives, he refuses to assist them until they successfully complete a run without any goals skipped out on. The GM rolls a 1D6 in secret. If the roll is a one, Mike will not answer the call immediately. When he calls you later, he'll explain that he and Martha were busy babysitting their grandkids. | Yes | Boxing Coach & Talent Scout | Legwork | 2 | 0 |
| Milena Springthunder | Paranoid | Milena is selective about who she works with. Notoriety has a double penalty when dealing with this contact. Subtract twice the runner's Notoriety from any check he is asked to do. | Yes | MCT Marksman | Fixer | 4 | 0 |
| Millipede | Selective | Millipede is great at gathering info, but only for topics that he thinks are worth his time. If it's not about Hyperpop or Matrix Crimes, he'll half-ass it and take a -2 to his knowledge roll. | Yes | Decker | Legwork | 2 | 1 |
| Milly Allock | Hyperfocus | Milly really likes her games and if she is playing one she won't be disturbed. Roll 1d6 on a 1 Milly is unavailable for at least 6 hours. | Yes | World Tree Gardener | Generalist | 4 | 0 |
| Mindy Dahnerhardt | Is... Is this still warm? Anesthetic Costs Extra Lovesick Hippocratic Oath | Mindy's clinic is BYOB (Bring Your Own Bliss). If you haven't taken anything to put you under, roll to resist stun damage equal to half your new 'ware's availability. This cannot overflow into physical damage. If your stun track is filled, you instead gain the negative quality Flashbacks I (Medical Equipment). "Do No Harm" may not apply to her, but it certainly applies to you. Bringing Mindy damaged goods before she can have her fun means a big pay cut. Additionally, she will only sell drugs to you if she thinks you actually need them. Healthy body, healthy mind. If Mindy likes you, she wants to spend time with you. A lot of time. If you have a loyalty of 5 or more with her, she will stall for as long as possible whenever you call in a favour, just so she can listen to your voice some more. Mindy offers an array of previously-loved goods. Any new cyber + bioware bought through her will always be of 'used' quality (or the lowest quality possible). She *can* upgrade the ware for you afterwards, but you *must* suffer the initial used-ware essence cost (and resultant essence hole after the upgrades are performed). When buying any other type of gear from her, roll a 1d6. On a 1, it has some feature linking it to the previous owner, such as a custom engraving or RFID chip. | Yes | Street Surgeon, "Cleaner" | Custom(G,A,K,N) | 4 | 2 |
| Mischief | Nerdgasm | Mischief gets excited about Cyborgs and will talk your ear off at any opportunity. When contacting her, the GM secretly rolls a D6.

| Miyuki | Free Agent Once Burned, Twice Shy | To raise loyalty past 2, a run is required. The run needs to show a real, meaningful, reason for Miyuki to trust the character. Loyalty can only be raised one rank at a time. Miyuki has more to lose when things go poorly. Without a meatspace body to fall back on, she risks destruction, confinement, or worse, when opposition closes in on her. Miyuki will not engage in activity that poses non-trivial risk to her unless: A Loyalty Test (2) is passed, the task is to her advantage, OR the "Consume and Adapt" aspect would be active. If Loyalty is 5 or greater, bypass this requirement. If conditions worsen, Miyuki will still likely retreat even if prior conditions are satisfied. | Yes | Custom(A,K,N,G) | 7 | 4 | |
| Mj. Marguerite Mahaut | This We'll Defend Working Hours A Woman of Principle | She will not knowingly aid anyone going against those soldiers who do the right thing. A healthy balance between work and private life is paramount if you don't want to burn out. She doesn't, so she tunes out of business matters outside of normal PST office hours (9-5, Monday through Friday). Add +5 to the threshold of her contact availability test if trying to contact her at other times (very early in the morning, late in the evening, on the weekends). The UCAS Army is quite far from what Marguerite wishes it was, but she endeavors to stick to standards she sets herself. Notoriety has a double penalty when dealing with this contact. Subtract twice the runner's Notoriety from any check she's asked to do. | Yes | Supply Officer & Wannabe Fixer | Custom(K,G,N,A) | 1 | 0 |

| Mother Komodo | Wanted | Mother Komodo has angered multiple humans rights groups and more than a few Syndicates who have made a living off of the subjugation of her clients.

| Mother of Mayhem | Old Grudges Rager Responsibilities | Wrangling a gang of hyperactive pyromaniacs is busy work, especially when she's pulling double duty recruiting new underlings and rebuilding after a recent raid by the Ancients. Her gang comes first, roll a 1d6 when contacting Mother of Mayhem: on a 1, she is unavailable for the next 1d6 hours. Mother remembers the old days, and she doesn't forget the ways her gang was fragged over. Mother of Mayhem refuses to do anything that would benefit Renraku or the Ancients. If she is deceived into doing so, immediately lose a point of Loyalty. If this reduces Mother of Mayhem's loyalty to zero, permanently lose her as a contact. | Yes | Halloweener Rager | Custom(G,N,K,A) | 3 | 1 |
| Mr Mirabel | Always Travelling | Mr Mirabel is always travelling, and as such, things may be harder to reach you. Every time the he provides a service, roll 2D6. The normal amount of time that it would take to provide the service is multiplied by the resulting number. | yes | Naturalist and Philanthropist | Networking | 3 | 1 |
| Mr. Agustín | demanding respect | Mr. Agustín is a old (and grumpy) fashioned mafia man and demands to be treated with respect and will not tolerate anything less. when asking for any kind of favor roll etiquette(mafia) and if you get 2 or more hits he will assist you unless you fail the roll or disrespect him in any way then he would not help and retrieve any ongoing assistance and you wouldn't be able to contact him until your next run. | Yes | Fixer(G, N, K, A) | 6 | 1 | |
| Mr. Herenight | Old Fashioned | Herenight never uses the Matrix and getting in touch with him is difficult. Roll Edge + Loyalty; normally it takes 6 days to get in touch with him. Net hits reduce this by one day each, but it always takes at least 24 hours. A meeting face to face can be arranged anywhere within the same country/sprawl/state. | Yes | Black Lodge Magician | Custom(K,G,N,A) | 7 | 3 |
| Mr. X | Borrowed Time | Roll edge when you contact this NPC. On what would be a critical glitch for other tests, Mr. X's cyberarm has been reclaimed by Tamanous. Swap this quality for the "disarmed" quality. | Yes | Medic / Street Doc | Custom(A,G,K,N) | 3 | 0 |
| Mr.Rudd | NO REFUNDS! NO RETRACTIONS! NO RECEIPTS! | Rudd Arts is not responsible for the lack of satisfaction, Damage of goods nor Death caused by all of the above. Mr.Rudd will always refuse to take the heat for a Runner should they mess up, even if they mess up because of the services provided by Mr.Rudd. | Yes | Networking | 2 | 0 | |
| Mrs. Frost | Hard to Impress | As a Fixer, Mrs. Frost has worked with many Shadowrunners, and very few make a lasting impact on her. Her cold personality and steely gaze makes it hard to believe that she's capable of feeling for anyone other than herself. Increasing Loyalty with this contact requires the following equation: New Rating x 4 CDP. | Yes | Head Librarian | Fixer(N,K,A,G) | 5 | 2 |
| Mrs. and Mrs. Dare | It's all Greece to me! | The Dares live on the other side of the world, in the Federated Republic of Hallas. While they use Magic and Matrix to keep up with their responsibilities in Seattle, it takes over a week and a very good reason for them to give any physical support in North America. | Yes | Fixers | Fixer(K,N,G,A) | 5 | 1 |
| Ms. Moira | Basic needs first. | Ms. Moira has mouths to feed and a house to run, and not a lot to do it with. Whenever Ms. Moira is approached for help on a run, roll 1D6.

| Naomi Bloodwoven | The Taint of Creation | While not a blood spirit herself, the taint of blood magic follows her from her creation. Her aura and magical signatures show signs of blood magic. This also has impacts on her mental state and behaviors, causing her to strictly control her actions. To avoid giving into her worst impulses, and backsliding, she tries to avoid any and all violence in her jobs for players, no matter how much she might prefer otherwise. The sole exception, is if the targets could be categorized into her "normal" set of job targets. This includes things such as cultists of destructive powers, blood mages, and so on.

| Nathan Nootau | Working Hours | A healthy balance between work and private life is paramount if you don't want to burn out.

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 | DeckTech Inc.

If you develop a positive rep with those circles after buying him, he isn't lost, but clams up and ignores you until you change your bedfellows. He believes Australia has enough problems without Shiawase playing with fire on the land. Treat his Loyalty as two lower if you have a positive rep with the corporation (not just Shiawase Atomics).

| Niamh O'Sullivan | Race Traitor Genuine Ganger Rambling Study Iterative Collaboration | Many elves stick to the general set of stereotypes of being pretty and insular. Some, like the rest of the O'Sullivans, relish them. Niamh definitely doesn't, which makes her a black sheep. Not only does she speak out against them. She's also an ork poser. Most elves take offense at this kind of betrayal, resulting in her being hated in those communities. Niamh will not move against her gang knowingly. Just no. She gets excited about most of her Matrix investigations and will talk your ear off at any opportunity. When contacting her, the GM secretly rolls a D6. If they roll a 1, Niamh 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. She just loves feeling wanted for a change, which she never felt before the gang.

She will also become extremely upset if questioned on whether she's the original Alannah Evans or just a copy of her consciousness, and will lash out if the matter is pressed. N̴i̶r̴v̸A̶n̵n̴a̴ is an anomaly. By all rights, her source code should not be able to support her existence, let alone her awareness. As a result of her bizarre code, technology tends to spaz out in her presence. Treat this as if she has the Gremlins 4 negative quality, affecting software as well as hardware. N̴i̶r̴v̸A̶n̵n̴a̴'s mere existence is disruptive, causing all sorts of issues within the Matrix. At the Game Master's discretion, various hosts may react particularly violently at her presence.

| Norville Craddock | Wanted Hard to Reach Silver Tongued Devil | The Vatican wants Craddock eliminated, due to his knowledge of their Aquinae vaults and their contents. Despite his potential madness, Craddock is a charmer and expert negotiator. He always makes sure he comes out on top of any deal and is happy to use your mistakes against you: any favor asked of Craddock will cost an extra chip, and an additional chip will be lost if a character wrongs Craddock.

Always make an Availability Test for Norville with his Connection +3. | Yes | Elder Mage Talislegger | Custom(G,K,N,A) | 6 | 1 |
