Placide

Placide is a high-ranking member of the Voodoo Boys gang in .
==Biography==
===Early Life===
After Haiti was decimated by natural disasters, Placide, along with many other Haitians, moved into Pacifica, a run-down district of Night City. Placide became the second-in-command of the Voodoo Boys under Maman Brigitte. He radiated the aura of danger and threat – inspiring fear and respect in those around him. Placide cared little for the outsiders who came into Pacifica and would only help those in the Haitian community. Like most of the Voodoo Boys, he was a dedicated netrunner who was determined to uncover the secrets of the Old Net.
===2077===
In 2077, NetWatch had tasked an agent to map out the Voodoo Boys data fortress in Pacifica and shut it down. Ti Neptune discovered NetWatch that was in their system but was quickly hit with black ICE and frozen, along with Brigitte. The Netwatch agent kept her and Ti in stasis until they were finally awoken after Placide, another member of the Voodoo Boys, hired the mercenary V to infiltrate the Grand Imperial Mall to stop Netwatch and free Brigitte and Ti.
Placide was V's point of contact with the Voodoo Boys as the latter investigated who tried to kill Evelyn Parker with a virus, and in the hopes of finding a way to safely extract the Relic. Not knowing or caring why V wanted with Maman Brigitte, Placide intended to use V as a "ranyon", a "floor rag" or disposable merc, to infiltrate the Grand Imperial Mall and figure out what the Animals who had recently occupied the place were up to, and if they were connected to attempts to penetrate the Voodoo Boys' private Net, "Reza Agwe". V reluctantly agreed, unaware that Placide was acting independently and knew the that Reza Agwe's attacker was a member of NetWatch. He installed a surveillance program in V's cyberware that would also act as a lethal virus that would kill the NetWatch agent, Bryce Mosley, every other agent connected to Mosley's network, and ultimately V. 
When V discovered NetWatch's involvement, they were perturbed but continued hunting Mosley at Placide's urging.
:Placide was enraged and suspicious at V's decision. And upon their return to the Voodoo Boys hideout, Placide confronted them as if to start a fight. However, Maman Brigitte interrupted the two, taking V with her. NetWatch agents then attacked Reza Agwe at the moment Alt appeared in the Net, causing her to conflate the Voodoo Boys with NetWatch and burn them. Brigitte and all Voodoo Boys connected to Reza Agwe died, and V was forced to deal with Placide as they left, since he held the access token needed to unlock the church's door.
:
::Placide later messaged V through the Net.
:Once V hacked into Mosley, Placide ran a virus against the entire Netwatch network. Although, it's unclear if he intended to kill V as collateral-- V burned out, but recovered thanks to the Relic. Once confronted, Placide normalized V's occupational hazard and blamed Mosely. The situation deescalated by the awakened Brigitte, who led V to the group's secret mainframe and plugged into the Net,in order to retrieve one of Johnny Silverhand's memories to use as bait for the Voodoo Boys' main project: contacting Alt Cunningham beyond the Blackwall to negotiate an alliance with the rogue AIs there.
