Magnificent Curtis is character in Cyberpunk.
Overview[]
Notable for creating Pacifica net region branch of Netwatch. which at that time didn't really exist, there being just a few Netwatch runners patrolling the area from their decks on the other side of the world. When he started. he used the handle Rocky, but the tag Magnificent Curtis was given to him by the runners down in Australia. He earned his name through his attitude and approach towards Netwatch runners; he wanted them to be perfect. and to give them a goal to strive for, he tried to be perfect himself.
He is fair, even-handed. slow to lose his temper. but quick to respond. even with lethal power, if attacked. He has a strict regard for the laws of the land, and an encyclopedic knowledge of the territorial laws of each of the countries covered by the Pacifica region. He makes sure that his runners never break any of those laws. unless empowered so to do by conditional regulations while they are in pursuit of a computer criminal.
Under his guidance, the Pacifica Netwatch Icewolves have captured a lot of criminals. both corporate and independent. They ensure that their prisoners are dealt with fairly according to the laws of the land. and not summarily executed by some angry corporate runner. The Pacifica branch of Netwatch has become a respected organization. which is very rare in this day and age, and through his influence. Fiji has become their main base of operations. As a result, this small island has some of the best security around.[1]
