- Name: Larz Blackheart, Cyber-Security Chief of CAD
- Loyalties: Corporate Authorities of Denon (Public Government for the Faction Darkwire)
- Wealth: Extremely Wealthy
- Notable Possessions: Unique Starship
- Skills: Slicing, Programming
- Personality: Annoyingly calm and superior, projecting confidence and occasionally arrogance over his particular set of skills over others. Even in the face of risk, Larz always has enough confidence to keep his cool in the worst of times. When he does fail, he usually does so with reservation, as if he is only merely disappointed by the outcome, but expected it in the end.
- Weapon of Choice: Data and Information
- Combat Function: Slicing enemy technology, using a technological urban environment against them to run away to a safe house.
- Information is Power - For as much as you think you might know about Larz Blackheart, you can be assured he knows more about you than you about him. This gives him a substantial edge over his opponents, and can almost never be caught surprised.
- Infamously Unknown - Everyone knows there is a fifth member of the Direx Board, and everyone knows they are the Cyber-Security Chief, and a few might even know him as Larz Blackheart, but everything else about this man is shrouded in mystery. That alone breeds a kind of dangerous infamy he utilizes to maximum effect.
- Cybernetic Enhancement - In order to make up for his life long absence of sight, Larz had cybernetic eyes implanted into his eye sockets to give him some limited sight. Unfortunately, due to his racial features, his mind was never geared towards processing visual information and as a result, only has a limited field of vision. He has vizors he wears that are intended to compensate even further with this by giving visual cues of things outside of his field of vision. Despite this, however, he is now capable of seeing in virtual environments with almost absolute impunity coupled with his cerebral implants. Everything engineered into his head has allowed him to process vast quantities of data that would put even a majority of droids to shame.
- Double-Blind - As a half-Miriluka (a fact most do not know about Larz), he was born without eyes, and more tragically, unlike his mother, could never access the force to perceive his surroundings. As such, Larz must rely on other means to make up for his lack of sight, and if those other means are removed, he is vulnerable.
- Cybernetic Impairment - Due to the extensive cybernetic implants in his eye-sockets and skull, Larz is particularly vulnerable to EMPs and Ionic energy and is technically vulnerable to slicing.
- Luminous Sun - Due to his mother's history, he has a soft spot for the entertainer and fellow Direx Board member, though few are aware of this.
Darkwire Netrunners often find themselves on the virtual run from Larz Blackheart and his army of slicer droids. This cyber-security chief is a mastermind of the Holonet and all its sub-services, including the underworld CryptNet. His code is a complex matrix of endlessly spiraling encryptions. He is a mastermind of slicing and a formidable foe for Darkwire, and sometimes, a powerful ally.
What most do not know about this digital genius, is his more humble origins on the smuggler's moon Nar Shaddaa. His mother was a Mirilukan who served as a dancer for a notorious human crime lord, who only had minor sway compared to the native Hutts. Poor and destitute under the thumb of a powerful criminal, his mother sought any means she could to pull herself up from poverty, and relied on the force to show her the way. For years, she made contacts with visitors and fellow gang members to her "master", collecting information, building leverage, and gaining support. Eventually, she found a secret suitor who was a larger more unscrupulous businessman than her crime lord master.
Supplying the information to Mr. Blackheart allowed him to shut down and lock up the Crime Lord off-world, freeing his "servants" in the process. With her knack for eliciting information from others, partially due to her natural skills and partially due to her innate connection to the force, she became a very close ally of Mr. Blackheart. So close, in fact, they eventually had a Son together. When the 400 Year Darkness lifted, "Mr." Blackheart was now Larz Blackheart, and inheriting his business found it prudent to expand to the new available locations across the galaxy, like in the Corporate Sector Authority. For years Larz Blackheart used the skills, gift, and providence of his parents to establish an impressive presence within the CSA... before finding it more prudent to evacuate before the Sith liquidate his business.
So like many on the Direx Board, he found himself relocating to Denon, and became a founding member of the Corporate Authorities of Denon. The rest is history.
