Nix

Nix is a former corpo, and a netrunner in service to Rogue, operating from the Afterlife.

Biography
Nix is a well-known underground netrunner, spreading his reach through the fixer Rogue, consequentially exchanging services for influence. He will express particular interest in Old Net netrunning tech, particularly those used by Rache Bartmoss. Depending on the life path chosen, it is possible to pry out a bit of personal information from him, such as his involvement in the corporate world, which led, possibly inadvertedly, to abandoning his old life. In as few words as possible, he admits to being part of the negotiations between Arasaka and N54 regarding a cyberpsycho scandal in the defense department. Precisely, he was the very leak. However, he managed to not get flatlined and instead now lives and works independently of either group.

In their first conversational exchange, V will be offered a task to to obtain a package, namely a Spellbook shard from the times before the first Net crashed and, if accepted, following the trail left by his contact R3n0, V will get their hands on an exceedingly rare piece of literature.

Once decoded, it is possible to learn that the shard is worth a lot more than Nix is paying, so, with a certain level of expertise in the matter (high enough Intelligence skill), V may be able to convince him to pay more than the agreed sum. Nix accepts that fair is fair, due to knowing the details prior to them being handed over, and agrees to a larger sum. He will however warn V that this should not happen again.

A second business encounter with Nix is possible once V heads far southeast into the Badlands, whether by randomly-obtained coordinates or simply by free exploration. An unusual freezer will be sitting in the garbage, awaiting for V to investigate, and, by doing so, they may obtain a very interesting cyberdeck. Bringing it to Nix to decode is the next step on this mysterious path, and be warned, the cyberdeck contains RABIDS. Once the netrunner starts decoding it, his life will be in danger and up to V to save his life. Two choices are available, simply shutting the power down or hacking into his computer. The second is more favorable due to the possibility to both save the data and his life, for which he will be extremely grateful.
