Frank Nostra

Frank Nostra was an Arasaka counterintelligence agent in Cyberpunk 2077.

Biography
Frank Nostra was a co-worker of V if V had the Corpo lifepath. Frank and V originally met during an operation called "Icefall" which happened on the NUSA east coast. A week before V was forcibly terminated from Arasaka's employ, Frank arrived in Night City after participating in Operation "Cargo" in Cape Town, a scheme designed by his boss, Susan Abernathy, to smuggle weapons to arm African conflicts. V may or may not catch up with Frank on their way to Arthur Jenkins's office.

If V did speak with Nostra, then months after V was fired from Arasaka, they received a message from Nostra informing them that Susan Abernathy was downsizing the Special Operations department. Nostra explained that he was fed up with Abernathy and was assembling a file of her secret misdeeds that would topple her from power, but V would only receive this message if Nostra had failed to use the file in time and had been killed. The message directed V to the file's hiding place.

Upon arriving to find the hidden briefcase empty, V encountered Nostra, alive and well. Nostra explained that he had recently been purged from Arasaka, with all of his property and accounts repossessed, but he remembered how Arthur Jenkins and V had tried to set Abernathy up and hatched a plan. Nostra wanted to get back into Abernathy's good graces and hoped that giving her V would be enough, so he lured V out with the false message.

If V talks Nostra out of his plan, Nostra will walk away peacefully and try to start a new life. Otherwise, V must kill or incapacitate Nostra.
