 Bio: Well this is a runner I remember my father and grandfather talking about when I was a child, and not in a good way. My father being a detective and my grandfather being an editor for the Seattle Times, this man was big news during those early days and before. I spent my entire professional career trying to gather intelligence on the phantom known as the Accountant, I almost gave up till one of my investigators uncovered some hidden records and data files. Though it did cost that man his life, and for that I am very sorry for his family, The Accountant is a true master assassin trained by the best of the business and worked deep within our own government inside the CIA he is as well a trained Mossad agent. The Accountant when he was a sanctioned killer took on some of the worst dictators, warlords and criminal syndicate leaders and made them all vanish, he was the bane to any world leader that stood to go against the United States or Israel. He was the companies top assassin and this man just being rumoured to be in country would cause the fiercest warlord to quiver like a school boy awaiting the principals cane.

       The Accountant has taken down more heads of state then any other person, and he moves like the wind and is just like a ghost. He only makes his presence known after it’s way to late, he is a master of all forms of killing and even a tooth pick is deadly in the Accountants hands. He is a true master of toxicology and can even culture compounds to affect specific DNA strands or even go as far as creating a toxin that can be carried by a immune unaware host and a simple handshake could spell doom for the intended target. His list of victims reads like the Vietnam Wall Memorial in the FDC, and sadly it keeps growing as no-one has been able to find and stop this killer for hire. Well during those early days of chaos, the Accountant was used as a equalizer and sent into native territory’s to send a very unsettling bone chilling message, that the UCAS would not go quietly into the night.

     The government was content to use this master of death and terror, since they knew it’s better to have the devil working for you, and keeping him where they could see him. The only flaw in there plan was they didn’t foresee the data crash of 2029 and that even their systems could be brought down, well during the data crash all records of the Accountant vanished and this man was able to walk freely away from his government leash and vanish into the shadows. This is exactly what he did, the government lost their best and most feared asset and the shadows gained one hell of a warrior to join the ranks in those early days.

      The Accountant re-emerged here in Seattle, in the very early part of the 2030’s and picked up where he left off as a government Assassin, and he joined forces with his brother known as the Professor. These two men became the most valuable asset in those early days, they took any job that would pay them and allow these brothers to spill blood. When there cousin joined forces with them, the trio focused on the NAN threat inside Seattle and even would go after elven districts, this trio was so feared that all records of there unison have been eradicated from the record books, it only got worse when there nephew now known as Vortex entered the city. Though records of Vortex being in the city, contradict when the Accountant arrived, but again do to the war, and all the chaos and Data Crash, information could be wrong on the exact dates. I can only report with the information I have and even thats very limited. This shadowrun team was one of the first to work within our fine city and they were all blood kin, these men became the most feared runners to ever lurk.

      We do know that the Accountant, parted ways with his family and started working solo, in the early 2040’s and this is were his path brought him to Ireland also known as the Tir Na Nog and he crossed paths with a up incoming young assassin known as the Senator. Again this is mere legend and speculation but the stories that float around say the Accountant took this young man under his wing and trained him in the arts of stealth killing and toxicology and if these rumours are true, be very concerned about what the Senator is capable of and we all know that all mentors never teach there pupils everything. What we do know for fact is the Accountant has worked for the HRM and Deaths Hand on a number of occasions and he is even considered a friend of the HRM.

       The Accountant eventually vanished from the Seattle shadows and slipped further into the shadowy night, where he went is a complete mystery but a man of his skill and power would not just settle down and retire, he would keep working. There are rumours that he went to work for the Deaths Hand and between Panama and himself are the sole reason the Hand has been so successful in their European conquest, the other rumour is that he entered the ranks of the HRM but again these are just speculations as the only one who would now the truth is the Accountant and he is not talking.

    This brings us to current days and according to my investigator before his untimely death, the Accountant is back in Seattle and has been seen at the Water Front having a private meeting with the Professor and Vortex, hopefully this doesn’t mean that part of the original gang of four is reuniting. This city has enough to deal with now with the war of the NAN and the war of the shadows, it doesn’t need to deal with those 3 entering the fray. Though in could also be good for Seattle if Vortex is recruiting his Uncles for the Old Guard. I guess only time will tell what the Accountant is up to and what the city is in store for, this killer is not a man you want to approach for any reason, he is not known for his temperament and he cares little about fans and being famous, so keep this in mind. The Accountant is here for business and his business comes with a swift trip to the morgue, please my fellow shadow beat reporters leave this runner alone or you will end up in a body bag.
