Saul Bright

Saul Bright is the leader of the Aldecaldos group that roams the Badlands around Night City.

Biography
Saul came into leadership of the group when they went into a fragile state, so bad that one mistake may cause them to lose everything. Around 2077, Saul led his Aldecaldo pack to the Badlands of Night City in order to find new work for them, differing from the smuggling traditions which the other Aldecaldos around the NUSA were still doing. In 2077, Saul was negotiating with Biotechnica to have his Aldecaldos work for them in exchange for reverse transpiration xerophytes, i.e., equipment to help his clan grow crops in the Badlands and thereby be more self-sufficient.

He also sought to enter his clan into a more permanent working relationship with Biotechnica in order to provide his people with a steady income. While Saul did this as a desperate move to save the clan, others spoke against it, instead preferring to look for other solutions, even to join Snake Nation as they would still be nomads and not corporate slaves. Panam Palmer was one of the most outspoken opponents of Saul's plan and vehemently protested any corporate partnership as it would make them dependent on a ruthless corporation. The disagreement even escalated to a point where Panam would temporarily leave the clan.

Saul was eventually captured by Wraiths, a group of Raffen Shiv, but was saved by Panam and a merc called V. Saul was thankful but was still tense with the two, but they put their differences aside in order to survive. Saul reluctantly welcomed her back into the Aldecaldos. Panam and her friends eventually attacked a Militech shipment in order to steal a tank to defend themselves from the Wraiths. Panam returned to Saul, expecting to be banished for doing so against his orders, however he was moved by her devotion to help the family while recognizing his own mistakes, and made her co-leader of the Aldecaldos.


 * Saul agreed to help V get into Arasaka Tower, wanting to also use it as an opportunity to pillage it for resources. Saul happily announces V as a member of the Aldecaldos. The following day, Saul, Panam, and V fight through into Arasaka Tower, but upon reaching the entrance to Mikoshi, the three are intercepted by Adam Smasher. Saul is knocked to the ground but manages to shoot Smasher with his shotgun, destroying his chestplate. In retaliation, Smasher stomps on Saul's head, killing him instantly. The remaining two survive and Panam assumes full leadership of the Aldecaldos.
