## Background

Growing up in a well off corp drone neighborhood in West Seattle was hard for Pops. He is not exactly skilled at making friends. In his youth he never really found somewhere to fit in and bully's always tried to haze him, they'd get a rearranged face as a result. His violent outbursts got him evicted from his working class Aztec family household and he was completely disowned. As a result he spent his time pursing interests, nuyen and working out, making a living doing the odd job picked up from any random J...Even pulling side work for less homicidal gangs.

Street life is eventually where Pops found his place of being, among the realist people there are. Pops would attend parties and social gatherings usually under the invitation of Mr... Boltneck. Boltneck was the one person to throw Pops a bone when he was down and out. Hooked him up with work from a J and the cred was paid in advance. Mr Boltneck knew it went south, never got details, but never heard or saw from the Johnson again. They both took to the assumption it was a ploy to begin with after the fact. Boltneck has a talent for making friends and getting things, to which Pops took full advantage of. Though the first job went further south than normal others were quite lucrative and afforded both Boltneck and Pops the lifestyles they enjoyed. Fast friends, Boltneck always invites Pops to his bi-weekly trideo parties either at his place in fancy side of Inglewood or at some random spot, you never know.

Still Pops hasn't found a team that wanted to stick with him for better work, but he always puts 110% into each job hoping to work his way into the big leagues. With Boltneck's help and using a lot of his hard earned nuyen Pops got some high quality bio and cyber to amp up for bigger and better jobs. After all the next job could always be the one that pays big, or the one that doesn't pay until you physically impress your feelings upon the Johnson.

Previously Operating in the runnerhub. Recently began operating in the Farmers Market on the request of his runner friend Switch.

M4 is a legend in the wetwork & warfare underground. For two decades his street legend has grown until it has become a shadow eclipsing a man just struggling to survive day by day. His titanium bone lacing has been broken and re-forged so many times that compound fractures jut out at odd angles from various limbs, presenting a deadly obstacle to an unwary assailant. Mike is a triple-citizen, holding seemingly-legitimate UCAS, CAS, and Zulu nation SINs. His tours with various mercenary firms are storied affairs with a lot of ‘sole survivor’ punchlines. Rumors circulate that he may have held a Duchy in the Black Forest Troll Kingdom before the republic; that he's close to 80 years old; others abound that 'M4' is just a title held by one Troll at a time who serves as an international blackops officer for unnamed individuals on behalf of a certain pro-Trog organization. Either way, if you've got his comm, you better play by the rules and burn your trails if they wend his way.

* **Smuggling**: M4 can move the runner +1 across up to 2 borders for nuyen alone; chips will move across 3 borders, per chip spent, equipment subject to GM discretion on transport modality.
* **Tactical Support**: M4 can provide low-end pi-Tac support for a team, or a surveillance rigger for EXTERIOR observation(no trespass), subject to GM discretion. Surveil/pi-Tac equipment losses may result in loss of contact.
* **Logistical Support**: M4 can assist in the delivery of weaponry/combative equipment through other fixers, and can reduce delivery wait by 5%/2 successes, with a limit equal to the net hits on the original availability roll and cost equal to 20% of the weapon.

Solger started "life" as a Spirit of Man that was frequently summoned and bound to a Seattle Shadowrunner for several years. It grew to the point where he became almost a regular member of the team the mage he was bound to was Geeked by an MCT guard during a run. Finding that he was now free to roam the world, he settled into the life he already knew, lurking the shadows and clubs of Seattle and using his penchant for rebellion to help the little people of the city that were under the boot of corporations and wealthy.

**NOTE**: Solger understands how to use a Commlink but doesn't find them particularly interesting or important so tends to lose or replace them. This contact information changes frequently, Players must always make a loyalty check [T1] when trying to contact Solger to see if they were important or memorable enough to have gotten his current comm codes, failure means they cannot get ahold of him until their next run.
