This character isn't really optimized in a single direction. Our group is quite small (3 players) so we can't afford to specialize too much or there is no way we could create a complete team. The campaign is also set in HK.

My DM (blakkie) is also using house rules for Clout which pretty much negates the need for contacts and allows him to buy anything under 500:nuyen: for free.

Lifestyle: Middle

Jean Lee is a Cross company man born and raised. He works the shadows on behalf of Cross with his ear to the ground picking up bits of information they might find useful and helping to direct Cross’s Johnsons in the direction of competent runners. On the streets at least, his loyalty to Cross is unflinching and he’d cheerfully fall on his sword if he felt it was for the good of the company. He knows the shadows though and makes sure to keep his loyalty to Cross in the background, at least during everyday interactions. He won’t hose his team unless something major is in the works against Cross but he keeps a constant steady stream of information flowing from the street to his handlers who use it as they see fit. He’s still very low ranked within the remnants of the Seraphim but he’s ambitious, charismatic and smart, attributes which may serve him well in his rise to power within the company.

Lee spent his formative years shuttling back and forth between Cross’ corporate enclaves in Quebec and Hong Kong. His father was a professional Johnson for Cross who was highly valued in their Asian operations due to the fact that as a native Hong Konger he had an easy time fitting in. Lee followed in his father’s footsteps joining the ranks of the Seraphim after graduating from the corporate high-school. During the chaos that ensued after Lucien Cross died Lee's father was killed in a run gone south. Lee has also taken over supporting his mother who fell into a deep depression after his father’s death.

Goals/Beliefs:
1) He’s a lifer at Cross. His loyalty to them is absolute and he’d willingly die for his corporate masters.
2) He wants to do right by his mom.
3) He thinks he can talk his way into or out of any situation.
4) (possible alternate) He wants to be an integral part of Cross regaining its status as a AAA.
