This role is in the Minor category – (Fewer than 50 lines)
Maddox is a highly reputed Gridcrawler operating from a high tech bunker far below the streets of The Strata. He specialises in bypassing encryption and accessing secure data on the Grid. Maddox is reclusive, cautious and secretive, employing elaborate security measures and encoded communication channels with his clients. In the past he has been targeted by competitors, with his safety threatened, which has led him to his current secluded lifestyle and his avoidance of face-to-face interactions. He researches his clients thoroughly to ensure no future issues arise. Maddox's motivations are somewhat agenda driven with his ultimate aim to bring about change in The Strata and expose corruption.

(a little condescending as a prospective client tries to skip through his safety protocols) “Whoa, whoa, hold up there, lady. There’s a process here - one that’s designed to ensure the safety and security of all parties involved in this transaction. We wouldn’t want to mess with that, would we?”
(testing a prospective client, trying to understand their motives for seeking him out) “And now you’re here on my doorstep. A last resort, I guess you could say? I suppose there’s only one decision left for me to make - should I help you or not? Go on, convince me. Why should I help you? And don’t say ‘creds’ because that’s not what this is about.”
(lecturing a client and letting them know he doesn’t care about money) “Listen to me - creds are an illusion. They’re nothing more than numbers on a terminal screen - pixels floating across the Grid. I can snap my fingers and make them dance any way I want - any time I want - and anywhere I want. They’re meaningless to me.”
