>>>>>[ In line with earlier commentary, here is some data has come to light
which may interest those of this B.B.S. Mind you, such information is quite
preliminary, but it may assist those also engaging in the quest for
information regarding this rapscallion knave:

Possible Preliminary Information (most of this is rather dated, but I decided
to initiate my search working from the past to the present)

Ganz [from the German, it means "entire" or "whole"] is a name used by
a few
agents involved in underhanded, disreputable activities. Mind you, none of
these may be the individual for which we search, but they are prospective
candidates.

1. Ricardo Ganz -- Primarily the information connects him with smuggling rings
in South and Central America. Suspicious are that he was involved in the
hijacking of various freighters shipping Colombian coffee beans, then selling
the contraband to the black market. It is also thought he was in the narcotics
trade. Present Whereabouts: Believed to be in Brazil.

2. Ganz -- mysterious junior member in the radical Volksfrei movement during
the days previous to the rise of the Fourth German Empire. Reports were
received indicative of its disbandment during the EuroWar. The group's
ultimate goal was the establishment of a Marxist state in Germany.
Present Whereabouts: Thought to still be in Europe, although some speculate he
has moved to England.

3. Ganz -- terrorist who was, up until a few years ago, active in the Italian
peninsula and the Balkan regions of Europe. Was more inclined towards
organizing and initiating acts than performing them himself. Is wanted by the
Roman Catholic Church for crimes in the papal states, as well as many other
Italian city-state governments.
Present Whereabouts: Conflicting reports put his last position either in North
Africa or the Turkish Republic.

4. Ganz -- the most sketchy profile thus far. Apparently quite active in the
shadows, acts as a "fixer" of sorts. Trades in anything bought or sold, and
orchestrates mysterious runs, sometimes several all at once. Has been known to
play alternate teams off of one another.
Present Whereabouts: Unknown. Presumed Europe or North Eastern UCAS.

Ganz, it is evident by your attitude that your role aspires to be the Supreme
Puppetmaster, manipulating others to your whims. Take care that the puppets
do not climb up their strings and strangle you with them. ]<<<<<
