Maybe one's a title or something like that?

Some other folks who pop up a bunch: The Chromed Accountant (in Corp
Shadowfules, Aztlan and others), Pyramid Watcher (wherever Aztlan is
mentioned).

He appeared in "Nosferatu", at least we're assuming he's an Immie.

The novel itself isn't bad, because it's fun to watch Serrin, Sutherland
and crew scurry around. It's just that in the last five minutes, we
learn that the so-called super-genius behind the Insidious Plot (TM) has
a plot so dumb you want to scream[1], AND, a can of worms the size of a
supertanker has been opened for the Shadowrun World.


[1] A guy who has technology that's 2-3 generations ahead of its time, and
makes such things as afterthoughts, decides to use his toys to blackmail
the world, when he should just SELL the toys for even MORE money.
