Biography
Roman Deckard was the youngest child of Cactus Water founder Michael Deckard and current CEO Lilah Deckard. He was a student at Night City University, but preferred to play pranks and party. Despite his carefree attitude he was an accomplished Netrunner. His older sister Laylah Deckard was the spokesmodel of Cactus Water.

Roman's life would reach a turning point when his father ordered him to find a way to force a breakup between Layla and her new boyfriend Dilon Murphy. Dilon was a student at Night City University and a professional protester. Michael was afraid that Dilon would influence her to turn against her families company.

Roman formulated a plan to drive Dilon out of Night City by cyberbullying him. To preserve his anonymity, Roman created the persona of the "Red Knight" and began sending threatening emails and deepfakes to Dilon. Finally, he planned to frame Dilon Muprhy for a murder that had occurred in the University. Unfortunately, this plan took a dark turn as Dilon Murphy in a frenzied panic, killed Laylah and then himself.

The trauma of his sisters death, coupled with his addiction to Black Lace turned Roman into a cyberpsycho. Blaming his parents and their company for his sisters death, he vowed to exact his revenge. After faking his own death, he made an elaborate plan to make his parents pay involving blackmail, drones, a group of homeless children controlled by an experimental cyberware and of course murder. His machinations would end with the intervention of Protocon and a group of edgerunners.
