What role has Ghostwalker actually played in the SR-world? Yeah, sure, he somehow kicked out Aztlan from the special weird-regulated city of Denver (rather unconvincingly, but that's another matter), but what does he do else? He just seems to be there. Dunkelzahn had that media-stick to him, Lofwyr is owner of the biggest and mightiest mega-corp, Ryumyo and Lung have their feud, Masaru wants to help the filipinos in their guerrilla war against the oppressive forces of Imperial Japan, but Ghostwalker? He just sticks himself to Denver, and that's it, according to Dot6w. Heck, what ressources does he even have? Only what Denver can provide, and it's stated that he leaves the mega-corp alone when they won't interfere with him. What can he offer what the mega-corps would even want to make deals with him?

He seems so useless in every way. His only schtick was to be all godzilla-like, but that's it. I mean, being king of Denver, yeah, so what? Why is he made important, when everything he "rules" over is just the odd city of Denver?

Can anybody justify his importance, and why people talk about him at all? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohplease.gif)
