The Contacts

Jak Spectre
A claimed former Ghost and arms dealer, Jak is a feeble old man who is often found drunk at the Winchester. He has a special affinity for The Colt SAA “Peacemaker” and has some reason for wanting certain government files destroyed. He seems to dislike the Reinoso brothers.

Reasons to Contact: Upgrades in the Team’s Armory, the darker secrets of the Ghosts, specs on weapons, armor, and vehicles.

Bird
Leader of the Ghosts. Bird can communicate telepathically at large distances and despite her old age is in fighting condition. She left a satellite radio with Guy as a means to contact her.

Reasons to Contact: Information on Ghosts, Battle Advise, Possible support.

John “Frenchy” Martin
John is a nervous man who took Jak’s spot as the Mob’s arms dealer once Jak “retired.” John does deal in minor arms, but excels in architecture, defensive arms, and security measures. The Knights contact him when they need a base upgrade.

Reasons to Contact: Electronic Advice, Bypassing Security, Upgrades to the Team’s Base.

The Don
Salomone is on great terms with the Mob leader. Don Medici owes his family to the gunman and will do much for him. However he keeps close tabs on favors and can be very intimidating.

Reasons to Contact: Underworld information, Weapons, Evacs, Hits, Bodies to Possess (for Salomone)

Lupe Mendez
Another of Salomone’s contacts, Lupe is the police chief of Chicago. He is street smart and worn a bit thin but these factors leave him willing to grant a vigilante some information.

Reasons to Contact: Police records, ongoing investigations, crimes.

Chance
The living avatar of the concept of Chance. He can be called on by Hammy but is very fickle as chance would be. He often assumes the form of a bipedal cat dressed in the clothes that would seem fitting for a face card to wear and often smokes a catnip joint. Recently he has tried to “free” the Reinosos from the “oppression of Fate” and sent them to random locations that strangely ended with the brothers back on the path of Fate. Seeing that his actions had meaning he felt utterly defeated and has not been heard from since.

Reasons to Contact: Supply of Chance Weapons, Missions against Fate, Information on the Cosmic Scale

Rachel Sparks
A strong, independent woman who has been following the Knights in news reports. She was recently filming the team's fight in the subway and it is yet uncertain whether she supports the Knights, though she hates Aasimov. The team captured her, though treated her with hospitality in their base of operations. She made a wager with the Knights that if they could not locate Aasimov within the month that they would be obliged to appear at a sponsorship banquet as her escort and that she would portray them in a negative light.

Reasons to Contact: News, Publicity
