Underbelly Smuggler

Lieutenant Neutral smuggler operating through the Underbelly with deep knowledge of contraband routes, alien tech, and classified hardware. Avoids direct conflict, preferring deals...

Moves contraband through the Underbelly — alien tech, classified hardware, missing persons. Doesn't want a fight. Wants the team gone. Knows the city below the city better than anybody, COMPASS included.

Signature moves: offer a deal, vanish into the warren, call in a rival's muscle, show the team something nobody else will.

Defeated by: the team paying for what they need, or the Underground Fixer calling in a favor on their behalf.

Appearance: Layered, weatherproof clothing built for tunnels and low light, a headlamp pushed up on the forehead, a pack heavy with unmarked cases.
