Overview

Officer of the N-51, he used to be the second in command while serving the French Army. When the Task Force became rogue, he took command of them. After some years of turmoil, the N-51 is now stable and Le Bouguinion leads the regular operation of the unit. He commands those who don't want to get their hand dirty. He enforces stricter rules of engagement and tries to avoid civilian casualties, though the lives of his men always come first.

With the recent extension of the N-51, he's now a colonel overseeing the action of the 15th Régiment de Hussard (the 15th Hussars' Unit). He is very involved in the whole endeavor.

Aspects Description

Aspect	Description
Newfound Connections	Le Bourguinion's men have gone rogue and are considered traitors by the French, but they're making themselves comfortable across the pond. He knows people and can help you with Networking tests to put you in touch with mercenaries, local UCAS politicians and, most importantly, his Hussars.
Reconnaissance	Given the right incentive (minimum Loyalty 3 and compensation, riskier ops requiring higher Loyalty at GM discretion), he might send a few N-51 boys to help the runners on the ground. They can help with physical legwork involving Perception, Freefall and skills from the Athletics and Stealth skill groups, observing your target without being discovered. They never engage any threats and bail if the situation gets hot for them.
Field Hospital	While the N-51 has its shady side, he is still true to himself. He started a small field hospital by their Redmond outpost in Seattle - mostly for those of his men in need of medical help, but runners could get some first aid or biotech supplies there.
UCAS Partnership	With his sphere of influence expanding in the UCAS, he might be able to help you with Networking checks with people from the UCAS Army.
Gunship	The N-51 has recently acquired an Aguilar GX-2. The Azzie combat helicopter is always ready to take off for a fire mission. Le Bouguinion won't deploy it on missions targeting big players like megacorps without a good justification and better payment. He also got an A-1 Skyraider that can carry more heavy ordnance but this one doesn't come cheap.
Task-Force Intel	Le Bouguinion wants the Task-Force as a friendly face front of the N-51, but he also knows many things related to his career which aren't pretty to look at. He's able to help you with Legwork tests of knowledge skills like Military, Foreign Military, Radical Groups, Small Unit Tactics and Military Vehicles with a +2 bonus.
Shared History	He and his men have been through a lot. Legwork tests related to French history and politics and specifically French radical groups or the local underworld are at +2. The French view them as traitors, but he can tell you a lot about them in turn.
