Actually it wasn't Punisher either, don't ask me who, but none of my team
have ever run into Drake et al before and were never in on the German thing.

Anyway, what I wanted to ask was, how easy will Dante be to find ? Punisher
is seeking to finish things off once and for all, as soon as he has a location
he'll move into action.

Well, maybe if I go through all the characters on the list, I'll hit it....

Dante will be a royal SOB to find. He runs all his stuff through delay
locations, two or three sat links, and his physical location is changed pretty
often. He learned a lot from his run-ins with various people and is being
very careful these days. He knows that he's made a LOT of people really
annoyed at him, a lot of dangerous people, and he's smart enough to set up
a very elaborate defense against being found. He'll have back-ups for his
back-ups and will even consider turning himself in to Interpol before letting
any runners get ahold of him.

Weak links in his armor: There are a few, his pet gang, the Double-D's being
one of them.

Besides, if I make it too easy, I can't initiate a run that I need Mike
Goldberg and Mike Knabusch around for. I'm thinking of killing off half of
my characters, my megacorp, and the Orginization, and Dante too(maybe to return,
maybe not), but Dante needs to be involved. Deeply. With any luck this run
would involve just about everyone on the list and earn Dante the title of
"Most Hated Villan". But we'll see.

Maybe the easiest answer would be Real hard to find, but enough work and skill
and luck will make him available for demise in a month or two, along with a
major plot. Does that help?

Yep fine, although when IBA is back on the scene and if he's mad enough he
certainly has the decking skill to get through a couple of sat links.

Punisher will more likely keep his ear to the ground listening for reports
of Dante's old gang springing up again. If he gets word of Dante's location
though he can move fast.

Dante better do a good job of hiding himself. Nightstalker and Raven are on
his trail and she's pissed. Nightstalker isn't too happy either.

Dante really must stop pissing so many people off. Have a mage-decker
detective dou on your trail is not wise.

I guess I wasn't quite explicit enough. Dante's gang has been renamed the
"Double-Ds". It is VERY active in Seattle and has grown to about 50-60
members. And it is slowly becomming more of a private army/mercenary unit
than a gang. And if the kid gets attacked, it will be Dante himself who
does it. Probably the best way to find Dante is to watch the gang(not
destroy it...yet) and the kid. He'll show up around both eventually, if you
know what to look for. One more thing, the gang is diversifying into magic
and cyber.

What good would a villan be without a few followers, eh?

On Second thought...feel free to wipe out the gang in whatever manner you
desire. Dante is more fun to run without it. :)

Probably true(about the duo part), but having Interpol actively hunting you for
several years(and not getting caught, of course) means that he's not going to
be too easy to find.

I have an idea for you, Jason, but it deserves it's own header.
