I thought Church was a good example of a character who was a real old
shadowrunner. He is definitely NPC material. If a player wants to have
a character like Church as a beginning character, I wouldn't say "no", I'd
say "Hello no!"
It was my understanding that Lofwyr's brother escaped. He was bacly
scarred and definitely on the losing end of the stick, but he got away.
