APPEARANCE: Nimrod 7 has short, cropped, brown hair and a
surprisingly soft face that is almost completely obscured
by his oversized white reflecting shades (see picture).
He wears a light grey kevlar suit.

PERSONALITY: Nimrod 7 was a compassionate hunter and killer,
but he has grown tired and spends his time waiting for the
last great hit. Financially, he is independent, but not rich.
He is one of the very best and knows it; he kills without
compunctions or effort. The strong and silent type.

QUOTE: "Personally, I hold no grudge against you. Please,
don't make this more complicated than necessary."

POWERS AND SKILLS: Nimrod 7 is a master of unarmed combat
and weapons alike, but he prefers the latter. He carries a
special assortment of weapons, some of them hi-tech, some
of them quite mundane.

CAMPAIGN USE: If you play in a regular Cyber Hero campaign
(who does? Please contact me!), you will find that Nimrod 7
is probably too powerful since I modelled him for use in a
(Dark) Champions adventure. Tone down his stats a bit and he
will be okay for San Francisco 2096, though. But he is a
great mercenary sent to kill one of your heroes, and he is
best in one-on-one situations. Don't let your whole group
pounce on him. He is no loner; making him a member of a team
of ruthless, efficient team would suit him fine.

THE CRUSADERS CAMPAIGN: Nimrod 7 had only one guest appearance
where he tried to kill the elderly Chinese Master of one of
our heroes (Typhoon Fist) and got beaten.

BLOODNET: Nimrod 7 is a cyborg (?) assassin Ransom Stark can
hire at The Abyss. He is a great fighter, but hated by
everyone ... and your team will find itself subject to a lot
of unprovoked attacks with Nimrod.
