You could say that Logan Offutt's worked for a lot of different people during this long and varied career, but on the other hand, you could say that he's always worked for the same person: Logan Offutt.

Born as part of the first generation of Trolls who were born to their metatype, he entered the world about the time that his family's business empire was ending. The Old Man negotiated the sale of RDO Farms, including the world's largest potato provider and RDO Equipment to Crystal Ag and the integration of the RDO business empire into the Group. A social outcast, but also one of the wealthiest people in the Red River Valley, Logan was spoiled for choice and, back in the day, just plain spoiled rotten. He partied and bribed his way through NDRU, and got a job with Crystal Ag's rival, Drew McNally's Ares Agribusiness, while still holding a place on the board of its rival, Crystal Ag, playing both sides of the Red River Valley's lucrative agricultural industry. It was pretty much an open secret that his inside information was part of what kept the incompetent McNally's division competitive, and Ares' local influence started to slowly decline when he departed the Fargo office to work for Ares subsidiary General Mills in MSPlex. He worked for General Mills for a couple of years until the New Revolution in '64, where he became an 'agribusiness consultant', doing a lot of business with Mosaic Seed and Fertilizer (an Aztechnology subsidiary) and Evo-4M, making money that he added to his already substantial fortune through a series of wise investments.

In 2070 he returned to the Red River Valley and tried to enact a hostile takeover over Goldmark-Craig-Schlossman, which might have worked except for the intervention of KUD COO Helen Ness, who bought him off by letting him keep his GCS shares and giving him the position of Chief Financial Officer of Kilbourne Urban Design, making him the third most powerful member of the company, beneath the Old Man and herself.

Logan Offutt is one of the better known members of the Group's board, a key member of three different companies within the Group, recognizable for his big body and bigger personality. Although one of the wealthiest men in Region 3, he cultivates a 'family man' and 'man of the land' image based in RDO's agricultural heritage and endows food relief, Changeling-support charities and scholarships for young Trolls and Orks. There's barely a school, museum or non-profit in the region that doesn't have at least a plaque, if not a whole collection or wing, with the name 'Offutt' on it. Some have called him the 'face' of the Group, with Helen Ness as the 'brains'.

The other thing he's known for is being the only non-Hermetic spellcaster working for KUD, having awakened as a Shaman of the Great Mother in his first year in college, being the financial backer of The Crop Circle and often positioning himself as 'speaking for the land' against the more technocratic members of the board, although he's never really taken a stand against the exploitative or damaging policies making money for Crystal Ag.

Logan was caught up in the horror of the Solstice Blackout, taken captive by the forces that threw the Block into chaos, he barely survived, rescued half-dead by the SDF forces of Harold Standing Bear. But in true Logan Offutt manager he found a way to thrive. The highest-ranking remaining member of KUD's upper management, he was quick to take charge and has made himself indispensable in the transition to Ares control.
