Background
Background and motivation:
Former executive-protection specialist for Helion Dynamics. Kade spent a decade shielding board members and senior engineers during hostile acquisitions and lab extractions. After refusing to falsify an incident report that would have pinned a civilian death on a junior colleague, he was terminated, blacklisted, and quietly threatened. His motivation is simple: keep people alive. The corporate world taught him how cheaply they value human bodies; he intends to push back one life at a time.
Something he knows and is excited by:
He has an encyclopedic grasp of threat geometry—angles, cover vectors, and the physics of bullets in motion. He treats it like a living puzzle and genuinely enjoys optimizing a battlefield so his allies walk out breathing.
Why he started shadowrunning:
Shadowrunning is the only space where he can apply his protection instincts without corporate interference. The pay is clean enough, the work is honest in its own crooked way, and the targets of violence usually deserve it.
Why he joined this team:
He recognized the team’s lack of hard defensive discipline. They had talent but no one who understood structured risk, suppression timing, or how to anchor a breach. Kade saw an opportunity to keep them alive—and in return they offered him something he hadn’t had in years: autonomy, and people worth protecting.
