I don't think he's mentioned in the 2nd edit story (I'm sure I'd remember him),
but if you have a 1st edition book, he's prominently used in the chapter on
magic, especially in the section on spell casting.

Who's Nameless?

>Neddy also appears in the story Tailchaser from Into the Shadows

Yeah, that's him, I think. He's the mage who levitated the hang gliders
and talked about going to Cambridge or some upper-crust school, right?

The picture of the street mage, I believe, is of him, as someone mentioned.
Has he made any other appearances lately?

Neddy and nameless are in the story Pus ca Change on page 12 of my SR2 book.
I have the first printing hardback edition, so I don't know if the story was
removed in the soft back version...

Neddy's a mage, and Nameless is a sammy...:)

Not that I'e seen... Plus ca Change was written by Paul Hume, as, I
believe, was Tailchaser...:)

Umm, also, not too sure that he's an Elf. He is described as a human in
Plus and in Tailcahser...

Nathaniel Edward Fortescue (N-Ed-dy) IS in Plus Ca change. He is the wizard
who mind probes Shelia Winder, and essentially is leadr of the team featured
in that story. (SRII Hardback, 1st printing, pp. 12-19)

>Who's Nameless?

Nameless in the Street Sam in the same story. They call him nameless because
he never gives a name, even to his teammates.

Neddy's full name is Nathaniel Edward Fortescue. He's a Doctor of
Thaumaturgy, and he is a main character in Plus Ca Change - the 2nd
Edition sourcebook short story. You might want to read it again. :o)

Nameless is the street samauri on Neddy's team, along with Smedley,
Iris, and Sidewinder (who hooks up with them in the story).

I think most agree on this point.

I knew someone was going to make a point of that so I've been trying to find
were I read it, but I can't find it. I know he mentions to someone that he
is actually an elf saying not all elves have pointy ears. Course I've got a
GMPC Physad Vamp who calims to be a elf with a real bad sunlight allergy. So
one never knows. :)
