Patrol Shiver Sergeant

History

Urien claims no unique background, raised by his single father and two elder brothers on DT-08. He was the youngest, smallest and seemingly least important in this family of four. Lacking any exceptional skills or talents, he wound up among the gangs and commited a number of crimes that would have denied him Shiver duty if he'd ever been caught. Shiver service just sort of came naturally to him, though not in a positive way. He liked the uniform, the money, the guns, but mostly the power. Over the fifteen years on the street, he's managed to squeeze himself into a very comfortable niche. He holds enough dirty lil' secrets over the heads of his superiors keeping his safe from above and 'funds' the efforts of Fury Wolves gang, who do numerous services on his behalf. He's avoided any real danger to himself, often at the cost of better officers. Recently he's fallen in with DarkNight, they subsidise his income nicely, he feeds them any juicey information that comes his way.

Personality

Black has a grudge, not a specific one against anyone in particular, just a general dislike of others. Lacking any moral virtue but with plenty of cunning intellect honed through years of double-dealing and back-biting. He's happy in his job and fights any chance for promotion, his activities would be more closely watched and he's smart enough to avoid this. Wary of a fall, he's had a lot of people 'silenced' and has no problems doing so again if threatened. At heart he's a coward, bitterly fighting for what he's got. Urien cannot really empathise with others, furthering his vicious frustrations. He's not confrontational, unless he elieves he can win, he'll bribe his way out of touble at any opportunity.

Game Use

1. Ops hassling the Fury Wolves find Shiver pressure, perhaps for 'disturbing the peace' or 'hindering an investigation'.
2. DN confessors implicate Black and he is investigated by I.A, what can they pin on him?
3. He acts on the Ops behalf every now and again, drawing them into his circle of allies, how will this turn out when he blackmails them into helping his activities.
4. He organises a DN hit on a group of unsuspecting Ops for the cameras of channel resistance.
5. A SHIVER squad is wasted on his turf, the BPN is okayed but later pulled at his request, he's got too much going on in the area and doesn't want Ops nosing around. He may have to quickly remove his activities from the sector or do the Ops in if he can find a way.
