[NPC] Mr. Anonymous

[OctoberRaven]

A 50+50 NPC who can serve as an informant to the PCs in an Oracle-ish way.

 

In Hudson City (or wherever your campaign is) there is a lot of people who know things about the underworld. But nobody can boast the knowledge of Mr. Anonymous.

 

He's not easy to find, in fact, more often than not, he finds clients first. A vigilante with money to spare and a need to know something. For a fee, Mr. Anonymous will give people tips to help those who he conducts business with.

 

Nobody knows that, in reality, Mr. Anonymous has a large network of informants from just about every criminal organization in town. This secret is closely guarded by him, but with the exception of the Harbringer of Justice, nobody really cares to find out about it. The Harbringer finds the amount of information Anonymous knows is a bit suspicious, but while he wants to know how he does it, the information is too valuable to make a major issue out of it... for now.

 

Only one man speaks to Anonymous face to face, and that's his translator, a longtime friend who is fluent in 17 languages.
