Disgraced Bodyguard

Molly, Disgraced Bodyguard, is a potential member of the mercenary squad.

Once a highly-paid asset protection specialist with Warner-Braun, <Warmachine>'s assigned VIP, Victoria Gortch, disappeared leaving her as the primary suspect. <He/She> left the Eurozone and has been hiding in the NBZ doing on and off again work for the Los Zagales.

Has a splicer connect, Vertigo, who sells illegal cyber and helped <Warmachine> remove <his/her> corporate tracking and tracing implants. During <his/her> years with WB, <Warmachine> made an enemy of WB Vice President, Daniel Brandt-Eklund, who has personally taken over the lead investigator role on the Gortch kidnapping case and is likely to eventually find <him/her>, wherever <he/she> hides.

Trivia:

The starting character Disgraced Bodyguard is a Warmachine with a default name of Molly. This is an homage to Molly Millions, a character created by William Gibson. Molly first appeared in the short story Johnny Mnemonic and later in Neuromancer and Mona Lisa Overdrive. Molly was a 'razorgirl', implanted with 4 centimeter retractable blades in her fingers.
