CHARACTER
Shamus O'Dell
W-03
--------

Shamus O'Dell is a shadowrunner and the behind the scenes leader
of a gang called the Howlers. Shamus was born (and infected with the
HMVV) in Ireland in 2013 as one of that countries increasing number of
elven births. He became a banshee in 2051 while on a run sponsored by the
Tir Nan Og government against an elven mage that they found to be doing
"unacceptable" research. Shamus quickly fled the country after being
infected and he currently has a 250,000 =Y= bounty on his head by the Tir
Nan Og government.
Shamus is highly skilled with firearms, computers (though he is
not a decker), electronics, explosives, and paramilitary tactics. He has
no known cyberware or magical ability, but it is suspected that he has
a rather large sum of nuyen stashed away in some hidden accounts.
Though he is the leader of the Howlers, none of the members but
his two lieutenants have ever seen him. He uses the lieutenants to
relay all of his orders and has trained them to be excellent leaders
in small group tactics. The Howlers have fought excellently both in
defending their turf and attacking other gangs. It seems like they are
being trained to work as a paramilitary unit.
Shamus O'Dell's feeding habits are on the conservative side. He
usually only feeds off of squatters and the like, but on occasion he
will feed off of an enemy. He has yet to let someone that he has fed off
of survive the experience.
