Prodigal

Prodigal was once a super-soldier for The Sector (and may still service them as a mercenary), back when it was still an entirely ultra-secret operation. On a routine mission in Paris, Prodigal tried to engineer an illicit arms deal on the side. When his prospective buyers found out who he was really working for, they tracked him and his team down at their safe house, where they were conducting some surveillance work. In the resulting ambush, numerous civilians were hurt and killed, and a tremendous amount of property damage was inflicted as well. For his gross misconduct, Prodigal was “retired” from the agency, which at the time was codespeak for “scheduled to be killed.” Prodigal took the hint and disappeared before The Sector would “take him out,” but by that time, the organization had much bigger fish to fry, such as the public relations firestorm. Over the next few years, as The Sector reinvented itself, Prodigal laid low, living off money he had illegally seized throughout his career as a Company man. When that ran dry, he returned to Century Station, recruited some like-minded mercenary supervillains and set up shop. He has been active with this team for over a year, and has established a pretty good reputation as a criminal subcontractor. He pulls down a lot of work for syndicates, criminal masterminds, and even the occasional
multinational corporation looking for “discreet intervention” with a business problem (codespeak for industrial espionage). In addition, Prodigal also has become a well-known arms dealer in town, specializing in “hot” energy weapons, advanced tech items and off-world technology, the latter a gross violation of The Covenant. Exactly how he obtains his merchandise is a mystery. Prodigal’s arms dealings are a solo venture, so he never has his teammates with him during buys. While this can be dangerous, he feels he can take care of himself. Besides, the risk is not worth having to share the profits.
