Overview
A Mitsuhama manager and inveterate paper pusher, Amadou Zheng oversees the security for one of the company's largest Seattle distribution centers. A born and bred corpokid who never quite reached his full potential, he supplements his already substantial income by being ludicrously corrupt. He's got contacts in a number of Seattle's syndicates, allowing all sorts of illicit goods to flow through his warehouse so long as he's given his cut.
Traits
A lifetime in a the corporation has drained out any empathy that Zheng once had. He sees people as a means to an end, and is willing to screw them over the moment that it becomes profitable for him. His backroom dealings are one of the few sources of excitement in his otherwise mind-numbing job; he's begun to fancy himself a crime lord of sorts, despite being little more than a glorified middle man. Personality-wise, he's a control freak and alpha junkie. Everything must be done to his exact specifications, and those who fail to do so are to be screamed at until they start.
Aspects Description
Aspect | Description |

All for the Bottom Line | The people who work for Zheng say that he'd feed his grandmother to a dragon for a new Concordant. While this is a bit of an exaggeration (Zheng quite likes his grandmother, and wouldn't sell her out for anything less than a Gladius), it definitely gets the point across. Zheng is out for himself, and will not hesitate to sell you out if he believes it will benefit him. He can be worked with, but he should never be trusted. |
The Boss is the Boss | Zheng doesn't quite get the idea that shadowrunners are freelancers. When you are taking a job from him you are his employee, and can expect to be treated as such. Anything that you can do he can do better, and he'll always be willing to give you helpful advice (orders) that he expects to be followed to the letter. Every time you bruise his ego, you must make up for it by sycophantically following his orders on how to do your job. If this is not done, lose one loyalty. If loyalty drops to zero in this way, he will consider you a worthless asset and sell you out to the highest bidder. |
