Bob:
I'm assuming you're looking for "gospel" famous types, right? I mean, Near Miss
is a lot more famous than most people in the Marches, but GDW hasn't picked up
their option yet, so I'm stuck. |->
Well, let's see. There's Leonard Bolden-Tukera, Marquis of Aramis, a profligate
butthead whose wife is a Tukera heiress and who supports the illegal activities
of Tukera and its interface line Akerut as long as he gets paid off regularly.
There's Marc hault-Oberlindes, Baron of Feri and president of Oberlindes Lines,
a slick little shipping firm that's been burning Akerut out of its business in
the Regina subsector for years and is expanding into the Aramis subsector now.
There's the Leader of Roup, whose primary claim to fame is that when he tells
people to do something, they do it. And there's the Matriarch of Mora, about
whom more in a recent issue of Travellers' Digest.
As for other celebs, there aren't too many. But if I ever get around to putting
my Near Miss stories onto the List, you'll meet a few who might transplant well
to your campaign, some serious and others lighthearted (Her Grace the Duchess
Samantha Vanderkloot, owner of the famous Vanderkloot Diamond and the even more
famous Vanderkloot Cleavage, and her archrival Dame Lucretia Blithering-Snipe).
I'll flip through the lit and see what else I can find. If you're desperate,
you can always throw in (gak) Akidda Laagir and his band of incompetents....|->
