Aymeric Cassel is a netrunner in Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty.
Biography[]
A French netrunner, Aymeric Cassel and his twin sister Aurore have worked for various high-profile clients in France and Western Europe under their collective pseudonym "Skylight". For Aymeric, this includes working for Petrochem during the years of 2072-2074. At an indeterminate time, they were hired by Militech to reactivate the secretive Project Cynosure, with the goal of capturing and harnessing powerful AIs from beyond the Blackwall.
Aymeric practices "spiritual hygiene" by avoiding substance abuse and regularly transfers his memories to external storage disks. However, the latter led to his memories of the years 2073-2075 being stolen, resulting in losing the memory of most of his time with Petrochem.
In 2077, Aymeric and his sister were invited by the mercenary warlord Kurt Hansen to help with activating the Neural Matrix, a piece of Militech/Project Cynosure technology unearthed beneath Night City's Combat Zone, Dogtown.[1] Along the way, they had their identities stolen by the mercenary V and the FIA sleeper agent Alena Xenakis. In the process, he and his sister are killed by both Alena and fellow FIA agent Solomon Reed.[2]
Database Entry[]
AYMERIC CASSEL
The more phlegmatic half of the netrunner duo known as Skylight in cyberspace. An avid meditator, expensive car lover and preacher of what he calls "spiritual hygiene," but also a formally educated software engineer. He offered his services honestly and legally for a time, but very quickly realized that he would rather hack for organized crime and clandestine corporate operations rather than be just another quant for a European agency. The Cynosure project, part of Militech's Night City operations, was one of many assignments Aymeric was involved in, rarely working without his twin sister by his side. He recently returned to the City of Dreams at the personal invitation of Kurt Hansen. If you wanna do biz, do it with the big fish; the bigger, the better.

Notes[]
- If V is male, the player uses Aymeric's identity during the mission Birds with Broken Wings.
- While disguised as Aymeric, V can ask to inspect Kurt Hansen's knife during their meeting and claim he gained an interest in knives while travelling in the Philippines. This interest is not stated in Aymeric's dossier, though it does not make Hansen suspicious.
- Aymeric is a classic car collector. One possible dialogue option for V to select during their meeting with Kurt Hansen is that Aymeric came to Night City to buy Johnny's Porsche 911 from Jeremiah Grayson.
- Aymeric's dossier mentions that he is highly allergic to strawberries.
