Faction Information

Summary

One of the countless magical private investigation agencies strewn throughout Seattle since the 6th World started, assisting whoever's willing to pay.

Goals

  • Grow in size to hopefully one day become world renowned as a PI.
  • Make as much money as possible.
  • Ensure the PI never ends up in the ownership of the Ancients.

Major Locations

  • Currently, the only location for the PI is their main and first office in Central Downtown.

Leaders

  • Manashoe was the core mind behind the PI and one of the founding members, it was his idea first and foremost. Without him, the PI never would have existed. His raw devotion to the methods of investigation, despite his countless vices and extremely crude misconduct, means he's rather effective at solving cases. Shot dead.
  • Wayfarer is the current owner of the PI, having been a close friend to Manashoe and another of the founding members. He is the core moral compass ensuring the PI doesn't fall into madness, and a rather skilled exorcist - though his methods are less prayer and more punching the everliving shit out of whatever spirit's causing the issue.

Background

Initially started just a year back in 2084, the Agency was a joint effort between the founding members Manashoe, Wayfarer, Miut, Oracle, Ronin, and the pizza delivery boy who got roped in, Weevil. While it was spearheaded by the Manashoe, each of the members was rather crucial to it's start, yet they hadn't managed to do that well financially in the beginning, receiving most of the money they needed through "alternative methods" - any runner or jackass with a good enough commlink would know those methods to be running, leaving the PI with a reputation for being more of a runner crew than an actual investigations agency despite the work done outside of shadowrunning.

Allies

  • Horned Bear - The PMC Horned Bear operated by Ashen Hand has taken an interest in the PI after recent events, leading to potentially a merger of the two soon to be the horizon.

Enemies

  • Ancients - Manashoe's most hated enemies, the Ancients don't particularly like the Agency due to past actions taken by the members against them. They haven't done anything yet, but being a PI member does mean you're bound to get on their nerves - don't go around Tarislar without a disguise.

Current Status

It is a tumultuous time for the PI despite being in relative health. The death of two of it's founding members leave it short on notable workers. Of course, there are people who work in the PI not listed, but most of the best work came from the original 6, meaning the doors are now starting to open to more runners who might be able to replace them. Alongside this, a potential merger with the PMC Horned Bear is being considered, which could alter the PI forever.

Living Members

  • Wayfarer - Current leader, exorcist, suspect apprehender, and bodyguard.
  • Miut - Matrix investigator.
  • Oracle - Magical investigator.
  • Ronin - Suspect apprehender, bodyguard.

Deceased Members

  • Manashoe - Founder and magical investigator.
  • Weevil - Non-magical forensics via drones

Contacts

None
