Wealth - If your hold is secure and your rule unchallenged, at the beginning of the session, roll+hard. On a 10+, you have surplus at hand and available for the needs of the session. On a 7–9, you have surplus, but choose 1 want. On a miss, or if your hold is compromised or your rule contested, your hold is in want. The precise values of your surplus and want depend on your holding, as follows. Easy to Trust - when you try to seduce or manipulate another player’s character, roll+Hx instead of roll+hot.

They can spend your hold, 1 for 1, by: • giving you something you want • acting as your eyes and ears • fighting to protect you • doing something you tell them to For NPCs, while you have hold over them they can’t act against you. For PCs, instead, any time you like you can spend your hold, 1 for 1: • they distract themselves with the thought of you. they’re acting under fire. • they inspire themselves with the thought of you. they take +1 right now. On a miss, they hold 2 over you, on the exact same terms Towering presence - when you give someone an order or a warning, roll+hard.

BACKGROUND

Swan is so-called due to his long, snowy-white braided dreads and nearly paper-white skin. He's pretty enough that people begin to question themselves and his joking requests for good-luck kisses on the cheek are usually granted (though often rebuked by him).

Swan brought Absinthe and Torch as backup when doing a deal with Cutter. Things went sour and he thinks Absinthe cut out and left him in the lurch while Torch hung tough and faced down serious violence to get them out of that jam.

Swan was able to unseat Chainsaw from The Den on Ring 11 and is now the man in charge of operations, though he lost most of his left cheek and ear after setting off a booby-trapped grenade.

Crew
Abner - Filthy rat of a navigator
Absinthe - Sexy and dangerous
Chauncey - Lazy and smarmy techie, Mr. Fix-It
Chronos - EVA pilot, vintage ride and a tank!
Eyeball - Surveillance and security, has her eye on the customers
Flail - Cat-o-nine expert, female muscle
Torch - The muscle
Warchest - Gun bunny, has free license to loot all the guns n' ammo he can from targets and victims

SECRETS

What Cipher Knows
Cipher has sussed out that Swan ain't from around here. He's most likely from ring 8, where most of the cryo-tube facilities are. 'Eighters' are reputed to 'cull the herd' of those left on ice from time to time and cannibals are no laughing matter.

What Torch Knows
Torch might remember a prominent Eighter from his time with the 'Neers, Dr. Satin, and damned if he and Swan don't share quite a few of those niggling observable human characteristics that are inherited.
Swan left Ring 8 about 6 years ago, and it took him over 2 years to convince people he wasn't working for the Eighters, especially Dr. Satin.
