Biography
Stints used to be an NCPD detective who was based in the Heywood District of Night City. During this time he encountered and arrested Jackie Welles more than once, to the point they've known each other for a while. Eventually, Stints rose up in the ranks of the NCPD, becoming an inspector.

In the last months of 2076, during the Streetkid lifepath, Stints and his crew arrested V and Jackie Welles when they were trying to steal a luxurious car from a parking garage in Embers, City Center. He recognized Jackie from the old days, and to their surprise, V too. Stints had been investigating V for a while, knowing they had been living in Atlanta for the past two years, "lookin' for a slice of happiness" in his own words, though they had returned to NC after it didn't work.

Unfortunately though, the car's owner appeared - a high-ranking member of the Arasaka Corporation called Kaoru Fujioka. Even Stints was not pleased at seeing him. The inspector tried keep with procedures and bring the arrested to the precinct, but for Fujioka it was a waste of effort as he didn't have time to testify nor "play" at an investigation. He suggested Stints to break their legs and toss them in the sea before leaving the area. The inspector ordered his people to do what the corpo had said.

Despite the order, Stints' people only bruised them and threw them off on a back-alley. V and Jackie pondered on the reason why Stints left them to live, thinking he still had some little sense of honor left, and especially the fact they three had been born and raised in Heywood, also suggesting he probably didn't like corpos neither.
