She has recently begun working with Knight Errant’s Special Crimes unit, targeting organized crime, specifically smuggling, drug, and gun rings.

This makes many in the shadow community nervous because they don’t believe it, but thus far, no one has been able to dig up any dirt on him. He’s been a key figure in the Atlantean Foundation’s hunt for ancient magical artifacts, and he is almost obsessed in his quest to study these artifacts and discover everything about them. He knows that if the Draco Foundation gets their hands on the artifacts, they’ll lock them up tight away from the world, so he knows he needs to get to them first.

Moreau is sarcastic and world-weary. He’s seen it and done it all, and often finds the antics of younger shadowrunners tired and cliché, and isn’t afraid to tell them so.
SIMON ANDREWS
-
Male Changeling Troubleshooter
Connection: 4
Max Starting Loyalty: 4
Specialties: Neo-Anarchist Movement, Magical Theory, Saeder-Krupp
Simon is an odd individual. A full body changeling, he appears to be a bipedal lizard-man with thick scaly. He’s also a rational British punk, wearing a battered leather vest covered in graffiti, anarchy symbols, and punk band buttons. He revels in being a freak, will hit on almost anything that moves, and likes to snack on live white mice. He’s direct and in your face, but is utterly loyal to “Master Lofwyr”, and serves as the dragon’s eyes and ears in Seattle, working as an independent agent and fixer for Seader-Krupp.
THEODORE “TOSH” ATHACK
-
Male Troll Knight Errant Detective
Connection: 2
Max Starting Max Starting Loyalty: 2
Specialties: Crime Syndicates, Street Gangs, Police Procedures
Tosh is a Knight Errant detective and works their Special Crimes Task Force. He’s a troll, and not the cleanest officer on KE’s payroll. Tosh likes to say that his retirement plan sucks, so he’s always looking to pad his nest egg. In return, he can help make minor infractions “slip through the cracks” or hook someone up with some info on a case, so long as it doesn’t put his job in jeopardy.
Tosh is a bit of a thug. A big troll, he tops 3 meters high, not counting his bull-like horns. He knows that trolls are expected to be stupid and will play on that stereotype. He’s been frequently cited for excessive force and even brutality on the job, but he’s proven himself valuable enough to the department that he’s avoided demotion or suspension so far.
