Do dragons count? Schwarzkopf regularly teaches magic at Prague University, IIRC.

Dragons and IE's count the same way atomic bombs count as explosives.

I know ... that's why I didn't say from Tir Na nOg. ;) It was inferred that she had done work for them before on more than one occasion. Has anyone mentioned Bandit? I seem to recall a couple of Raccoon Shamans by that name in the novels. From their disparate descriptions they all couldn't be the same character. |

Blackwing is actually a delta-grade cyborg, not an adept. |

Blackwing aka Bloodwing? If we're talking about the same hombre, he's a freelancer AFAIK. Not a Black Dag. And I didn't know he had Delta grade 'ware. I thought it was just beta.
I'm talking about the elf hitman from "Bottled Demon" and "Dragon Hunt." As for mages, there's Nadia Minrin from the "Into the Shadows" set of short stories. |

He was a former Black Dagger, and at some point got back into the graces of the Tir and was made a count(Count Paris, ha ha, R&J reference). His 'ware was standard-grade in Bottled Demon, alphaware in Dragon Hunt, and is apparently much more exensive, and delta-grade (or at least his arms are, and I'd imagine the rest is too) in Double Take.

I didn't know he was in Double Take. What's that one about again?

Would Wolf and Raven still be active? The books take place in like, the 2030ies I think.

Wolf and Raven (the book) take place in the 2050s. Wolf and Raven are still active in 2060 (Terminus Experiment). |

Is that a fact? I´m pretty sure the at least the first of the short stories say it takes place earlier.

Most of the Wolf and Raven stories took place in the 2050s. The author wrote the first story while the game was still in the conceptual stages, before the rules were even published.
The Terminous Xxperiment is the most recent book I can remember them being in. Those Wolf and Raven stories are the best Shadowrun fiction ever published IMHO. |

Which is why Wolf doesn't really fit into the concept of any of the canon archetypes. |

There's also Nathaniel Edward Fortescu, aka "Neddy," one of the first mages to get mentioned in the early SR stuff (I think he was the model for the "Street Mage" archetype in the original SR1 book.)
Also Lothan and Kellan Colt, if we're counting SR: Duels. |

Echo that! I almost gave myself a migrane trying to figure out what they're stats were. Good stories, though. winterhawk11: I can't believe I forgot Neddy. He seems like a prototype for Cullen Trey now that I think about it. Did anyone mention Dr. Alan Gordon? |

Didn't Neddy get some mention as a rules example in some Shadowrun 3rd Edition sourcebook? I can't recall exactly which one it was, though I'd imagine it was either SR3 or Magic in the Shadows.
And "well known" may not necessarily be synonimous with "appears in canon", because there are a whole lot of magicians that appear in canon that I wouldn't call particularly well-known in the shadows. Basically, if you've got enough clout as to how the Shadowrun universe plays out, you can get your pet mage elevated to such status (Twist, Talon, Sally Tsung), and some were famous through virtue of initial canon writings (Howling Coyote, Kano). Since there's little indication that most adventures and events see the kind of fame/infamy that a lot of the initial plot events were made to result in, it's doubtful that most canon-mentioned magicians, even repeat-appearance ones, would be universally well-known. |

Did we ever hear anything more about Hart and Verner, after the three novels? I know Twist shows up briefly in SSG, but I don't recall anything else, or Hart.
Man, I gotta find those first three books again. Stupid dog ate em. |

My sister's pygmy goat, the book-destroying monster. Managed to replace the one out of that series I lost though.
