Erik’s Notes: This is a catalogue of some of the real characters being played today in
Shadowrun, by people all over the world. Many of these characters are also in use on the
ShadowTK role-playing mailing list. With this in mind, when using these characters as NPCs in your
own campaign, be as true as possible to their original intent. In other words, be nice.
These characters are intended to be very high powered players in the Sixth World. The
increased Attributes x1.5 Optional Rule was used in a number of cases, and one character even has
Delta-grade cyberware. There are also some “new” spells and a new house rule regarding how
contacts get gear and information. This optional rules and spells will all be explained at the end of
the chapter. In addition, all bonuses have all ready been added to statistics and skills, unless
otherwise noted. If you still can’t find something, contact the individual who created the character
via e-mail.
And again, a special thanks to all those who contributed to this catalogue. I wouldn’t have been
able to do it without you (obviously). Some of you people are very sick... ;-) I may have changed
something about your character, but I tried to keep with the original spirit of the character. And in
some case, I exaggerated the personality traits to try and make the character more interesting and
different. Not to mention in almost every case I made the character stronger. In some cases, what
seem like mistakes (such as a wrong birthplace) was deliberate deception. In other words, Counselor
and friends got it wrong, and they don’t know any better. In almost all cases their “errors” have
been addressed in the Notes: section.
A very special thanks to Mike, Dave, and Scott. We’ve burned a lot of karma on each other.

 The people included in Edge Runners: A Corporate Guide to the Shadows represent some
of the best, and the worst, running the shadows today. Not all are shadowrunners. Included are a
number of fixers of various talents. But most indeed are what has come to be called
“shadowrunners”. They are talented and diverse, and there is bound to be at least one ’runner who
will fit your blackest operation. Keep in mind that the information included was accurate at the time
of publication, but may have changed as recently as today. Much of it was taken from messages on
the illegal “Shadowland,” with our decryption computers working 24 hours a day for well over four
months to break them open so we could bring them to you. So go ahead, sit back, have the butler
bring in a scotch, and take a look at your secret weapons, before your enemies do.

don’t get too upset. I think we all know there isn’t a truly safe data encryption
invented yet. And it took them so long to crack the files open that most of what
they found is out of date and obsolete by now. So don’t worry too much. All they
did was take all the available corporate dossiers and files that exist on each and
one of us, and added the Shadowland dirt. Counselor and friends just put a bunch
of them together, into one compilation. Then we decided to crack their encryption
(soooo easy!) and add some of our own dirt to this catalogue, and give it to you
out there on Shadowland. Now, if some Mr. Johnson starts to read you like a book,

Background: Aria is known to have been a rigger for

Gaetronics Seattle for some time before being “asked to
leave” by her boss, a man referred to by her only as
“Mr. Smith”. After leaving Gaetronics she began
shadowrunning, working mostly as a combat rigger.
Aria ran the shadows for approximately one year.
During this time, it is believed that she earned enough
money to buy a vehicle repair shop. It is believed that
she began doing retrofits and repairs for other
shadowrunners, and dealing in gray market vehicles.
After only several months, Aria was approached by
“Gomer”, “Leslie”, and “Mr. Shortwrench”, all mechanics
and riggers, with a business proposition. “Gomer” had
spent time in Germany and knew of a forgotten
government mothball yard, filled with old, broken
aircraft. These craft, and later many others, were
recovered, brought back to Seattle, and repaired to
working condition. This was the beginning of the
Underworld Opera, a quasi-legal operation specializing
in retrieving and repairing old military and security craft,
often from the previous century. The Underworld Opera
is licensed for security grade vehicles and weaponry,
but it is also believed that they do some illegal military
conversions also.
The Underworld Opera currently has four warehouses
and workshop facilities. They are considered to be one
of the premier vehicle retrofit and repair companies in
the Seattle areas, and they have a broad and impressive
clientele. They also have issued a small amount of
stocks which are currently being traded on the Seattle
Exchange.
Skills: Aria’s primary use lies in her ability, with the
Underworld Opera, to perform almost any conversion or
repair at reasonable prices. She still is a very competent
rigger, but rarely does she do shadowruns any more.

Notes: Basilisk is something of a mystery man. But he

is a helpful, normal, and generally nice person, who
might fit in as an NPC in almost any campaign.
Basilisk’s icon is a multicolored, photo-realistic
metallic cockatrice, with all programs (all rating 6)
appearing to emanate from the cockatrice in a suitable
medieval fashion.
Of note is the fact that the custom deck will allow
someone with two datajacks, as Basilisk has, to project
a second ghost persona into the Matrix. This ghost can
do little other than function as an observer, but it does
allow Basilisk to be in two places at once. This does
impose a large (+4) penalty on all actions in the primary
persona however.

an incredibly powerful free spirit (I use that term
loosely) that at least rivals the power of the great
dragons. He has hired a number of runners, and he

—St. Stan (21:41:44/12-20-55)

Background: Boaz is, to most observers, obviously a

free spirit. There is a great deal of debate about exactly
what kind of spirit however. He is not from this plane,
and it has been theorized that he is from another
dimension entirely, or perhaps another “metaplane”.
In his human form (see above), Alexander Boaz
works at the Seattle Museum of Natural History. It is
believed that the curator knows that Boaz is a powerful
free spirit, and often consults with him. Boaz has a small
office there, which is filled with books on history and
magic. The contents of the shelves change nearly every
week, as Boaz reads inhumanly fast, and he is a
voracious reader.
Boaz has been known to hire powerful
shadowrunners for strange missions. The objectives of
these shadowruns are often obscure to the normal
observer, and seem to make very little sense. It has also
been guessed that some of these shadowruns involve
journeys to the metaplanes.
In his “natural form”, Boaz appears as a 2.5 m tall
glossy black skinned humanoid, with large wings and
red glowing eyes. Despite this demonic appearance,
Boaz is generally considered to be “good” and a
protector of humanity. He has never, to our knowledge,
attacked anyone.
Skills: Alexander Boaz is a very powerful spirit. He
cannot be coerced to use these formidable powers
however. He is not a mercenary and has no apparent

For several years the only information on Andre
Jackson is from police records, where the alias “Lord
Finesse” is first recorded. From 2046 to 2052, Jackson
was arrested numerous times, all for minor charges
such as misdemeanor disturbing the peace and
misdemeanor drug possession. He was also arrested,
but then released and never charged, with a string of
homicides. The official reason he was released was lack
of evidence.
It is believed that somewhere between 2051 and
2052 he took control of the Crips street gang
organization, controlling by proxy and murder Crips
gangs across the continent. Once his grip on the Crips
was solidified, he began to make attempts to control
other Los Angeles street gangs. He did this with money,
drugs, and murder. By the beginning of 2055 he was in
control, directly or indirectly, of over 70% of all criminal
activity in the Los Angeles area. The only significant
resistance in Los Angeles comes from the Bloods street
gang. Police, city officials, and the vast majority of
citizens believe the gangs are as fractured as they ever

Astonia, Tir Tairngire. During this time and the several
years at the University of Washington he acquired the
reputation of being an extreme “party animal” and in
general of being a troublemaker. Seattle Police
Department records exist to show that during his time
at UW he was arrested numerous times for prostitution.
After being kicked out of UW for misconduct and poor
grades he stayed in Seattle as a professional “escort”
and was arrested for prostitution several more times.
Somewhere during this Maxfield began
shadowrunning with MercurIan (mage, believed to be a
cousin) and $ilverado (Australian mercenary), and gave
up prostitution.
Maxfield has settled in Anderson, CalFree, where he
operates the Hinton house, an orphanage which some
claim to be a front for a Seoulpa ring style criminal
organization. This is mere speculation however, and
Maxfield is a well respected member of the Anderson
community.
Maxfield became infected with the Human-
MetaHuman Vampiric Virus (HMHVV) approximately
twelve years ago. It is believed that Maxfield does not
take unwilling victims, and there is strong evidence that
he is registered with the CFS authorities. However,
given the Nobilis tendency towards becoming
“Banshees” when infected by HMHVV, it is unclear as to
the exact nature of Maxfield. There is the possibility that
he is a heretofore never seen species of Banshee. The

rumors about Shadowdancer. First we shall start with
Black Market Rating: 12 what is known.
Information Rating: 9 A Daniel Rawlings was an infantry soldier in the
Confederate American States for an unspecified period
of time before going AWOL. He is still wanted by the
CAS Army.
He has performed extractions of top-level
cybernetics scientist from both Renraku and Yamatetsu.
It is an extremely high possibility that from those
extractions he received custom cyberware. It is also
believed that he has worked as a freelancer in
conjunction with top level Tir na nÓg covert operations
and assassinations teams. It is also believed that he is
primarily fixing now, having semi-retired from
shadowrunning.
Aside from these facts and partially substantiated
rumors, very little is certain. Some claim that he is
actually a vampire, perhaps even the vampire that
infected Martin DeVries, the vampire hunter. Others
claim that he is a front man of sorts for either Renraku
or Yamatetsu. Some have even claimed that
Shadowdancer is actually a physical adept or an
android. None of these rumors have been substantiated
in any way, and so it is assumed that they are just
misinformation.
Skills: Shadowdancer’s main talents lie in the area of
combat. He is also highly proficient in all areas of
warfare. He is also a very good fixer, but it may be
easier to go through Johnny Rotten or Freddy Frypp.
However, if none of these individuals are available, then
Shadowdancer will be more than adequate.

Notes: The Whistler is not Harry Turnbull. He is actually

Darrick Erding, former employee of Fuchi Internal
Security-Seattle, former fiancŽ of Kyrie Ireland, aspiring
model (and elf). However, there is NO way that the PCs
can find this out. This is GM information only. This may
come into play, however, because the Whistler still
doesn’t know who murdered his fiancŽ.
The Whistler is the combat model of the corporate
boardroom warrior. He takes no prisoners and no
chances. He, like Shadowdancer and Daishi, is not to be
crossed.
The Whistler does maintain contacts with all those
personalities mentioned above, and in particular
Rhonabwy and the Welsh High Druid, Meradoc Griffyn.
As a point of fact, he is one of the few mortals who has
seen Rhonabwy in person. The main reason for this is he
is descended from the bloodline of the Welsh royal
bloodline, the house of Aberffraw, and can lay a
legitimate claim to the (now non-existent) throne of
Wales. He has no current plans to act on this, but the
dreams (he learned his true, Welsh name, “Rhodri ab

portents are becoming more common and stronger. He
is radically opposed to the Duchess Glendower, and

Background: Wizshade is something of an enigma. He
has no known history, and has no known permanent
residence. He functions exclusively as an information
and magic items specialist fixer. He is known to have
sent shadowrunners on missions to recover magical
items and rare books all over the world. He does seem
to specialize in the “Olde World” however.
It is not known if he is magically active himself. He
has never displayed any magical aptitude, but those
that have looked at him astrally report a great number
of quickenings laced about him.
The only clue to his past is a slight European accent.
This accent is so slight and so general, no further
information can be gathered.
Skills: Wizshade is possibly the best talismonger known
today. While he doesn’t often deal with conventional
magic items, he does have an incredible amount of
knowledge about old books and magical locations. He
also does seem to know about the location of magical
artifacts, but he does not often deal with them himself.
