For many years, he has held a position within the Spire, a floating city for the rich, residing
in the lower levels of the resort-like facility where his information network is available
to those who can afford his rates.
For The Ante, information is power; he uses his vast shadow network to glean,
collect and otherwise acquire by multiple means the information he wants.
The Ante is very selective over whom he meets and deals with. And while
a neutral party, in every respect, there always remains his prerogative on
dealings. If he reaches out to you, he is prepared to deal with you.
With his half-Fondorian heritage, there is a very keen intellect, as well as
a high knowledge and aptitude with all manner of technology. He is supremely
rich, very capable of dealing in all kinds of trade that suit him, and has resources
to further his network and connections. On the inverse, The Ante is isolated essentially,
as protection against those who might want to abduct him for information extraction.
As a precaution, he has a cybernetic implant below his right ear, which can wipe his
memory and render his secrets unattainable. Yet, being resourceful, one presumes he has
a cognitive backup somewhere. Due to his lifestyle, The Ante is frail and lacks combat physicality.
Lately, The Ante has begun to be mobile, using stealth vessels to vary location for security reasons.
