In keeping with the loose time scale of Night City RPG relative to Mike Pondsmith’s canon, dates will be recorded in the T-Years format: T-X

Name: Dylan Cadd
DOB: August 07, T-44 Years Ago
Hometown: Baltimore, MD
Enlisted: USMC August, T-27 served 20 years, honorably discharged, T-7. Believed to be working as a solo ever since.

Only, that’s just the cover identity. Most people believe it. But if you had access to the Paz Files? You know the real truth…

Real Name: David Chandler
DOB: June 14, T-44
Hometown: Billings, MT
Enlisted: USMC August T-27. Selected for Special Forces training, December that same year. Recruited to Marine Raider Regiment. Listed as KIA, Suez Canal, T-20. From there David Chandler became Dylan Cadd, and joined the FIA where he served until T-1.

Born into an agri-corporate community in Billings, Montana, David Chandler grew up working the fields in the heartland of the New United States of America.

The youngest of three brothers, David Chandler worked the fields with the rest of his family. But the monotony of agri-life led him to enlist with the United States Marine Corps at the age of seventeen and was ultimately recruited into the Marine Raider Regiment (MRR).

Dylan’s MRR Unit was activated and deployed during a series of counterterrorist operations in South America and the NUSA border over the course of several years. The activities that took place during this time are heavily classified by the NUSA government.

During this time, David’s unit was continuously engaged by narco-state backed mercenaries, partially funded by EuroCorp. Following a raid of several large weapons caches near the Suez Canal, David’s unit was wiped out by Sudam Cartel forces (c.T-20). Following David Chandler being reported as killed in action, the file was sealed along with numerous other members of the task force.

In reality, David Chandler was tasked to the Federal Intelligence Agency (FIA) under the identity of Dylan Cadd. As Dylan Cadd, he was a native of Baltimore, Maryland who had served in the Marine Corps as a technical engineering specialist. He was outfitted with a series of cyberware augments provided to most FIA field agents: enhanced optics and acoustics, performance upgrades, and a comms suite. For the following thirteen years, Cadd carried out missions for the FIA’s special activities division.

(During this time [c.T-10] would have been when Dylan rescued Victoria Forsythe, a high ranking Millitech Executive’s daughter kidnapped and held for ransom, but this is omitted from Paz’s files.)

Inspired by research into mitigating cyberpsychosis, a wetware company called Zetatech began the test phase for an organic nano-ware engineered to greatly enhance a user’s physical abilities. The nature of their project attracted the attention of the FIA in T-4, who saw it as a potential advantage for their agents. Cadd was ultimately recruited to be screened and tested along with approximately a hundred others selected from the US military, Militech, Lazarus Group, and other FIA members.

For six months, research subjects were put through intensive testing and training, before being tasked with increasingly challenging trials to determine their fitness for the research program. Ultimately, the candidate pool was reduced to twelve and Cadd was put through the program first.

The program, known as Wraith Omega, was designed to create high tier assassins who could be augmented to function as the equivalent of a kill squad. Operatives would be capable of holding their own against multiple corporate ninjas or even full borg mercs. The success of the program would result in a minimum of two agents being placed in every major city on the planet.

Dylan underwent several surgeries to replace parts of his brain, and major organs with cloned wetware components. His nerves were replaced with a proprietary fiber optic material to transmit nervous data much more rapidly. Nanomachines and wove an elastic carbon nano-graphene synthetic spider silk compound into his muscles and bones; strengthening them on the cellular level. His rib cage and skull were covered in high strength proprietary prototypical alloy made from steel, chromium, cobalt, and nickel with toughness rated at ~350 megapascals square root meters. (For reference, silicon is 1, aircraft aluminum is 35, and base steel is ~100.) His spine was completely replaced with the alloy.

Additionally, he was rebuilt with a pain editor, and optimally functioning organs were cloned form his cells, engineered to “perfection”, and replaced all of his existing organs. Finally, a self-replicating nanite culture behind his sternum is integrated through a shunt in his aorta his bloodstream to cut down on his healing times; since most of his bone, muscle, and nerve tissue is synth-organic weave anyway. Dylan is stronger, faster, and more durable than a fully organic being. He can react to nervous stimuli in a decisecond. His injuries heal in about 25% of the time it takes a normal human.

Dylan was also given a full deployment of combat software; weapons operation, guerrilla warfare tactics, vehicle operations, multi-terrain survival training, languages, battlefield triage, mechanical abilities (pretty much limited to getting broken down vehicles working in the field in a pinch, but he’s a capable enough mechanic in a machine shop). He was also given an infiltration and exfiltration suite, he’s capable of physically bypassing locks and failsafe protocols if given enough time, but is useless at hacking.

The software program and the hardware augmentations took an already elite counterintelligence operative and pushed him to the brink of maximum efficiency. Compounded with his previous special operations and intelligence background, Cadd was an expert marksman as well as capable of creating and enacting flawless cover IDs in virtually any part of the world.

Dylan was placed through a series of live exercises following the installation of Wraith Omega. These initial exercises included neutralizing a Yakuza den in Seattle. Dylan succeeded by eliminating 36 members of Guchi-Gumi crime family in one hour. During the next phase, he was tasked to eliminate an HVT residing in a NeoSov bunker outside Kyiv. He succeeded three days later.

During his final exercise T-1, Dylan was required to retrieve a stolen Militech data shard from a residence in Dubai. Though initially successful in retrieving the shard, Dylan’s handler changed the mission and ordered him to execute the thief and their family which included three young children. Dylan refused to comply and left the location. The Wraith Omega Program Director attempted to quick hack Cadd’s augmentations remotely, resulting in him being badly injured and nearly falling to his death into the Gulf of Oman. He only survived due to sheer willpower and his refusal to die.

Dylan washed up on the shores of Iran and took refuge with a Kurdish ripper doc for a month to convalesce. He realized that a large bounty would be placed on his retrieval, and he needed to return to the United States to find a way to have the bounty rescinded or cancelled.

A Zetatech-backed merc team tracked Dylan en route to Europe, where he ultimately killed them in a Berlin subway station and fled before realizing he was still being tracked. He dug the tracker out of his shoulder, attached it to a stray dog and boarded a jet to the NUSA.

Dylan set up in a nondescript location in the seedy underbelly of Southside, Night City. Utilizing Night City’s autonomy and seemingly endless chaos as a cover, Dylan is trying to establish the necessary connections to dissuade Zetatech from trying to recover their rogue prototype and recall or cancel the bounty on his head.

He is believed to be working in or around the vicinity of Tech Noir, possibly for its ex-Bratva owner as a solo or mercenary.

Port Kar
She wasn't expecting him to be here this hour and she was startled and let out a chirp of surprise. A hand came to her face with a dumb smirk on her face, only to lower her hand to her chest where she could feel her heart beating hard. "Oh wow you startled me. I'm sorry Stalker, I didn't know you were in here. I was just.. putting these out around your work site." She explained for her being here, giving a slight hand gesture to the med bag that was hanging looking new and pristine.

*watching as you enter and hang up the medical bag, I couldn't help but smile as it was perfect timing as I rise from my desk and stretch my back, listening to the bones crack. I had conveniently forgotten how much desk work there was in running this yard*

Evening my woman, it's good seeing you. I apologize for not being home yet, things needed my attention here. But I am finally done.

after a bit takes a break, looking around the gym

takes the wine and sips it tasting it before looking around, not sure what my mood is tonight

Workshop
Gets out, dries off, slips into my working clothes, snaps my fingers for a cup of coffee and heads over to my workshop.

steps up to the bartender, ordering some wine

keeps up the cycling getting my blood pumping

steps in the place seeing katy being led off like that and laughs some

Poolside
It's early morning and no one is around. Quickly removes my boxers and dives into the pool.

Ahhh that is refreshing.

Floats around for a while enjoying the water.

starts working up a sweat while working out alone

follows along

Leading the way.

Smiles. Now that's a site. What is going on here?

Ship Builders
The hour was late and most would be sleeping this night and so she was a bit restless and figured with no activity at the ship yard now was as good as any to replace the medical packs on his site location with nice new ones that have all that one would need to heal cuts and scrapes and various other things that happen in a ship yard.

With about four bags hanging from straps over her shoulders she went on a trek and found herself moving to various area's and hanging them in plain sight for anyone to find. There wasn't anything real expensive in them and they weren't usually on anyone's radar to steal. There was one at the entrance of his yard, another two closer to where ships would be located and one at his office which she hung on a hook. The bags were bright red with white decals on it listing what was inside so people can find what it is they need in the time they needed it. Nura was meticulous with this sort of thing so, she took pride in her work
