Mundane Ascensions: 2
Summary
Samael seems an oddity in the runner community, approaching runs as the with as gentle a touch as possible. He absolutely understands the realities of doing wetwork but prefers to avoid, whenever possible, doing anything that would leave a trail or be described as 'explosive'. Given his druthers, he prefers to remain as out of sight as possible and will always opt for infiltration and disguise whenever available. He dresses well and as a result looks more at home in Downtown or Bellevue than, really, anywhere else. The inspiration for his name, given by an old dear runner friend, centers on his view towards death. While he knows the realities of the jobs he takes, he always opts for dignity and respect when to comes to a person's final moments.
"Most of us do not get to choose when we come to our end, but only how we face it. And perhaps, if we are fortunate, who we have surrounded ourselves with when it comes."

Background
Edward Frost was born differently - had he not been born into the absolute lap of luxury, he'd have likely ended up with any number of physical and genetic deformaties. Instead, thanks to his parents involvement in the Hildebrandt-Kleinfort-Bernal bank, a young Edward was shipped off to any number of EVO locations for genetic modifications and corrections. The results were straightforwards - the removal of the genetic issues affecting his birth, and, eventually the biotech which would make him be albe to keep himself safe as he grew up amid all his parents corporate entangelements.
What he didn't know, however, and still doesn't is that he is actually a second generation Shadowrunner. His parents involvement in the banks in London were their retirement and cover story for their wealth. They had hoped to keep their child from the life of the shadows, but when their past caught up to them it all ended up back in the shadows anyways.
His parents murder amid, what he thinks was, yet another corporate conflict all but forced him into the shadows; bankrolled by the family fortune, he took to running in order to avenge the death of his parents. It is that hunt which leads him towards Seattle....
Parents:
Michael and Melinda Frost, apparent investment bankers and financiers.

Allies
Active
Geodesic - The two have run together and Geo owes him a 'marker' for taking care of him after failing a hack. While Geo knows it was a manifestation of his dissonance issue, Sam is only aware that Geo got some heavy dumpshock getting kicked out of a host.
Rosalia_32 - A single job together and a single night together is all it takes; that moment of comfort between two runners leading to a surprisingly deep level of affection, albeit a platonic one given Rosalia's relationship with Annette.
Mara - Samael owes her a chip, a single gold coin he uses to mark his favors, for help dealing with some of the issues arising from Hank and his sister.
Retired
Nicolas - The two men go back a ways; opposing sides of the same coin. Whereas Samael leans away from violence and prefers a softer touch, Nico leans in and prefers to get his hands messy. Somehow, however, the two became fast friends and remain so to this day despite the runner deciding that the Shadows of Seattle were not to his liking.
Graveyard
Jessie_DeVux - Samael wasn't able to maintain close enough ties to Koi in order for her to trust him enough, something he regrets to this day. Her death in the CAS, on a run he couldn't help with, stays with him.

Symbols and Signatures
While Samael doesn't leave any particular calling cards, he is relatively known to be always dressed well which can make him stand out among runners. The all black SAAB Dynamit, however, often attracts a bit of attention.

Character Plot Hooks
Here are characteristics of the character that GMs may take advantage of to add complications to runs, or to otherwise use when in use. If you want to use them in unrelated to runs, please ask first.
| Aspect | Information | Related Run(s) |
|---|---|---|
| Aspect 1 | The Good Death: Sometimes things just need to end with quiet dignity. | Angel of Death |
| Aspect 2 | Old Money: Edward Frost is on the Board of Trustees of a small subsidiary bank associated with the Hildebrandt-Kleinfort-Bernal bank. Unknown to him, his parents built the fortune through shadowrunning and, somewhere out in the dark, is the EVO team that took their revenge. | House of Horrors |
| Aspect 3 | Edgerunner: As his essence lowers and lowers, he wonders how close he gets to the threat of cyber-psychosis himself. | Birds with Clipped Wings, A Quest for Transcendence |
| Aspect 4 | The Faceless Man: Samael has a reputation for being able to get in and out of places without ever being seen. | John Overton Must Die |
| Aspect 5 | Gentleman Adventurer: Despite the rigors of shadowrunning and doing wetwork jobs, Samael has a reputation for gentleness and manners that often extend to his targets as well. | Angel of Death |
| Aspect 6 | Bodyguard for Hire: "Sam Watts" is a licensed bodyguard with enough Matrix traffic to justify the Rating 6 SIN. |
