Ok, So i might be posting in the wrong place, but since i've been playing (early SR2) there has been a ton of overarcing plotlines and i have a hard time keeping everything straight. So here might be a good place to ask whatever happened to...someone... and maybe all you guys who have every sentence of every book memorized can help us old foagies out.
Example: Whatever happened to Thomas Roxborough? Last i heard his bulbous amorphic ass was hanging out in orbit plugged into the matrix full time

Hrm. I don't recall when he was ever put in orbit. Anyone know where that reference is? As far as his involvement with Aztechnology and UniOmni, apparently he owns a significant portion of UniOmni stock now and jumped ship with them when the alliance between the two came apart.

From System Failure:

What we do know is that Thomas Roxborough had a serious fallout with the rest of the board, packed his stuff and left for greener pastures. Roxy has also invested a good chunk of nuyen in UniOmni, becoming the major shareholder just in time for the corp’s merge with Debeers. He has kept a low profile since then, making a lot of people nervous (and curious) about his future plans.
There are no "flavor" sourcebooks yet for SR4, so that's as recent as you're going to get.

as of the printing of SOTA '64, wasn't he in South America, where KAM was 'extracted' from?

Renny married Halberstam's wife. Then they changed their names to the Robinsons and moved out to California.

I think Renny was given a brief mention in "Psychotrope" as a Cameo. "Psychotrope" also had Halberstam in there, so it was appropriate.

I always wondered. Glad to hear it worked out for him, that was a really good story (I kept my VR1.0 long after it ceased being relevant for the fiction; same with the excellent companion fiction piece to Missing Blood).

I was about to say... that'd be one hell of an oedipal complex, considering Halberstam's wife was the visual template for the Nanny program. And in someone who I would imagine would have taken more than a passing interest in Classical Literature once he was freed and had open access to research material.

Alice, the Mirage member turned Matrix entity, is dead - IIRC she was pissed at him for some reason and wanted to make sure that he would always be imprisoned in that vat...
