Backing Organization: The American Mafia

The Fontaine Family operates in the Colorado, Nebraska, and Kansas regions as an extension of the American Mafia, and is typically no-nonsense, brutally aggressive, and highly focused on profits. The Fontaines are known to work under-the-table with corporations to provide security or to do their more underhanded work directly, and often distribute low-level work to street gangs and other undesirables. Their 'legitimate business' is in programming for bioroids, including several popular Edusoft lines, but they are known to have illegal birthlabs and bioroid programming software in their wheelhouse as well.

Backing Organization: ?

The Agency is a shadowy military organization that is providing the party with equipment and a base to operate from. They also have a formal rank and file structure that controls how much help the party can call in when they need it.
