Player Characters
Armas Laine
Paul-Jacques Labombard
(Human/Loup Garou/Black/French/Mercenary)
A black Frenchman currently working as a mercenary on long contract with the Triads. He stands at about six foot six and weighs at least two hundred and sixty pounds. His battle attire consists of urban camouflage gear with a dozen cargo pockets and and adual-triple-stacked shoulder harness. The shoulder harnesses allow him to hold six Colt 1911's, each tooled to take the .50GI cartridge. In addition to his arsenal of pistols he is skilled in the use of his French bloodline power, a power which gives him the abilities of the Loup Garou. While Labombard has a second, yet to be revealed, bloodline power at his disposal his Loup Garou abilities are his bread and butter. As of late Labombard has busied himself fighting a one man war against US special forces groups arranged against the Triads and helping Lo Fang in a counter plot against an assassination attempt perpetrated by Savoy, an attempt which, thanks to Labombard, ended with Savoy missing an arm and barely escaping with his life.

Galileo Savoy
Heritage: Sicilian
Languages: {{{Languages}}}
Occupation: Mafia Agent
Affiliations: Mafia
Appearance: Clean shaven man. A long scar runs from his left eyebrow to chest. Favors extremely expensive suits.
Capabilities: The Savoy bloodline, that of Sicilian kings, allows Galileo Savoy to be anywhere at anytime. He has demonstrated the ability to appear at the location of people who call him on the phone, to (presumably) travel from Sicily to Istanbul in a matter of hours, and be inside locked buildings with no evidence of having actually entered. He is rumored to be an exceptionally competent solo assassin, in no small part because of this ability.
History: Galileo Savoy was called to Istanbul as part of Armas Laine's actions to take vengeance upon Angiluzzo Castelletti for sending him into a job likely to get him killed with insufficient information. He subsequently oversaw Armas' takedown of Castelletti, the replacement of Castelletti with Rocco Armani in the Istanbul branch of the Mafia, Armas' assassination of Kaspar Brandt, and presumably undertook or facilitated several other operations for the betterment of the Istanbul Mafia. Most recently, he personally and seemingly without orders attempted the assassination of the Triads' Lo Fang and suffered a rather miserable defeat at the hands of his target and the mercenary Paul-Jacques Labombard, sending the Mafia into confusion and disarray.
Equipment: With the exception of his impeccable dress and gold watch, as well as substantial monetary resources, the equipment favored and used by Savoy is unknown at this time.
Notes: Galileo Savoy is a player character. It has been mentioned (source unknown, please say where if you know) that he lost an arm in his failed attack.
