Overview
Amélia Bezerra is a tol-kachi and information broker from Portugal.
She acts as a negotiator/agent for the adult western dragon Nebelherr, and represents him at meetings of the board of the Hamburg-based DeMeKo group, in which Nebelherr holds 8% of the shares.
In the past she is said to have worked for Aegis Cognito.
After Nebelherr's return to Chiemsee in '73, she meets regularly with her employer and has resumed her position as his spokeswoman. Among other things, she takes on the task of shielding the dragon from annoying interview requests, and also keeps in touch with the shadow scene on his behalf, for which she seems virtually predestined as a former intelligence officer.
GM Notes (how do I present these characters)
- Amélia Bezerra is, in contrast to Nebelherr, a cool calculating person. She plans many steps in advance and has the necessary contacts and connections to ensure that her plans work out. Runners are business for her. Only at a loyalty level of 5 does she begin to take an interest in the Runner's private life and is willing to do them a favor at no cost. She always has Nebelherr's best interests at heart and has proven her loyalty many times during the time Nebelherr has been missing. In meetings she is cool and distant, but will always provide the Runners with proper food and drink. She appreciates a certain etiquette and is absolutely willing to kick out Runners who cannot behave respectfully.
- Nebelherr is an adult western dragon who lives in the AGS, and largely stays out of all corporate business. He is not a puppeteer who pulls his strings in the background like many other dragons, he is rather a man of life. He likes to bathe in public, not caring at all about the tourists and helicopters that are constantly watching him. He is a tourist attraction at the Chiemsee. This is what is perceived in the public controlled by Amélia Bezerra with the support of DeMeKo. But who is Nebelherr really? He is and there he does not have to pretend a little more playful than other dragons and from the heart of his soul a gentleman. In everything he does, he always keeps his public image in mind. He uses public attention as a shield against Lofwyr, whom he is indebted to for helping him in the fight against Kaltenstein. As long as Nebelherr has a publicly visible profile, it is very difficult for Lofwyr to involve him in his intrigues. Nebelherr behaves almost friendly and courteous towards runners. However, he is also a dragon. He prefers not to make threats directly, but to give hints. If someone still does not want to understand it, he can also be direct, which usually annoys him very much. Even if an encounter with Nebelherr is much safer than with other dragons, he will let runners who do not behave respectfully despite patient requests be transported away in a body bag. His patience also has an end. Anyone who knows how to behave and is willing to say yes to his requests and not no will remember a very pleasant dragon. His castle on the Herreninsel has a large hall which he has prepared for audiences. He used to dine with his guests in human form. If he wants to impress someone, he has him brought to the cellar where there is a large swimming pool with an underground tunnel into the Chimsee. There he is ready to hold audiences in dragon form.

An eye on S-K activities | When operating in the AGS it is generally never wrong to keep an eye on S-K and Lofwyr.

Audience on Herreninsel | She can get you an audience with Nebelherr. But be warned, even if Nebelherr maintains an excellent public image and supposedly has excellent manners, he is still a dragon. Choose your enemy wisely. (Whether an audience comes about is the decision of the GM.) |
