 Bio: Gigabyte is one of the old school deckers that is still operating within the shadows and offering his skills at cracking any matrix node for the right price, their is nothing Gigabyte won’t do if the credits are correct and this old timer has the skills to back up his mouth and his high fee. This decker has done some serious damage inside the Matrix and has cracked some of the hardest locations to bust. Gigabyte has done a vast majority of his decking runs on a dare and fears no man, avatar or program and for damned good reason. This old timer has been cracking systems ever since he was a child and since as he grew the computer technology was growing as well and he has had his fingers in every single updated piece of computer technology throughout the years and this man was even cracking the systems when they were just called hackers. Gigabyte grew up with the internet and has fully invested his life into the computer and even becoming a world class programer for the government. This man would use his knowledge of the governments databanks so that he could crack them on his off time, this would be how Gigabyte would learn about the government’s ultimate plan of the False Flag long before it would ever become a reality. He would then broadcast these warnings all across the internet, this was the pre Matrix. Using social media as his outlet Gigabyte began his own version of cyberterrorism in order to stop the government from being able to fully engage their plan.

         Though do to the way things where back prior to the Ghost Dance and the Data Crash, people where very skeptical of anything the would read on the internet do to it being full of false information and what they would call trolls (people who purposely try to anger or misguide someone on the internet). All he ended up doing was inspiring a handful of doomsday preppers and feeding the fires of those already paranoid of the government and once they started spreading his warnings, all was lost and Gigabyte needed to find another approach on how to get his message out though time was running out and he knew that once the Ghost Dance occurred he would be fighting an uphill battle and would also have to go fully underground, since he was already on the government’s beheading list. Sadly Gigabyte was unable to convince the masses of the impending doom that awaited them in 2017 and he would vanish from the internet as he would have to go underground in order to keep his neck out of the guillotine.

       Gigabyte would not fully remain invisible though during these violent times, he would become a valuable asset to the freedom fighters, as a information broker and he would be able to crack communications and send encrypted messages between camps allowing those that rose up against the tyranny to keep in steady communication and stay one step ahead of the incoming native forces and UCAS advancements. So Gigabyte would become a hero of those days and without this old timer all would have been lost before it actually began. His inner knowledge of the governments protocols, and how to manipulate the internet and then the Matrix would give these rebels a major advantage. Gigabyte was more then willing to assist these soldiers in their attempt to over throw the False Flag, do to his deep patriotism and love for America. throughout the years this decker would cause serious issues for the UCAS by cracking their systems, breaking down the electoral process, shutting down the financial districts, and giving the Patriots and Confederates a direct link into the Pentagon and White House. He also cracked many of the major corporations and would steal sensitive data and bring to the attention of the public when a lifesaving technology or medication was being withheld thus causing the people to revolt and force the companies to either release the technology or scrap it.

        This is what happened to the cure for cancer, Gigabyte cracked Bio-Tech and discovered they had been sitting on the cure since 1999 and decided it was more profitable to keep treating it then cure it. Gigabyte in his anger and frustration broadcast this information all over the Matrix, the people took to the streets in protest and Bio-Tech claimed the cure was a failure and thats why they never released it. Though we all know it was a lie, as another independent medical corporation stole the information from Gigabytes broadcast and began creating the pills. Though they choose to charge far more then any common man could ever afford and so the cure became only available to the elite. Though once Bio-Tech learned about this, they started a class action law suit against the rival company and through court order Bio-Tech got the cure for Cancer suppressed and using their goons in the FDA as a weapon to shut down any further production of this untested and unapproved drug.

       This is the kind of work Gigabyte enjoys, he likes causing chaos and creating havoc for those that become far to greedy, he fights for the common man and he doesn’t care about the money since this decker is swimming in cash, well when you can crack any system at will their is nothing sacred anymore and many a politician would find them self on skid row do to Gigabyte draining their beloved orbital accounts. He continues his charity by redirecting money from the corporations, bluebloods and politicians into the local charities to help them purchase medicine and other basic life needs. He also does protect these charities from having there accounts frozen and the money taken back, so Gigabyte might be a runner and an opportunist but this man does have a heart of gold and he is looking out for the common man.

         Gigabyte is a modern day Robin Hood, and is a truly honourable man, he deeply cares about the people in the country and within Seattle where he lives. Though he knows that when the hammer comes down, he does have to protect number 1 and for this he will go to any length to keep himself alive and out of jail. Gigabyte knows that he is no use to the people if he is not their so for him the cause is far more important than his actions and if he needs to break a few eggs then so be it. Gigabyte is one of the good guys and for this he needs to be recognized as the hero he is, and not the cyber criminal he is called. For every one person Gigabyte has killed he has saved hundreds or more through his actions, so I can say that he has truly entered the record books and Gigabyte is a legend among men.
