Bevel is an Australian aborigine, he ran away from his parents when he was 17 and fled to Sydney.  Bevel roamed around Australia taking jobs as a guide or a hired gun for a while when he met Paulene Motts.  Paulene was the daughter of a wealthy land owner that had hired Bevel to keep out dangerous animals and unwanted guests.  The two fell in love but when her father found out that his daughter was being corrupted by an "abo." he became enraged.  The two lovers fled to Portsmouth and tried to hide in the slums.  They married and soon were expecting a child, but men hired by Paulenes father kept appearing, and Bevel and his wife were constantly on the run.  Fearing that her father would catch them, and tired of the prejudice the whole country looked at them with,  he hired on as a roadie with the European band "Kestral" and became good friends with the front women, Gena and Molly Collins.  When the band left for America, he and his wife boarded the ship with them.   While on the voyage, Paulene suffered a miscarriage and lost the baby.  The ship docked at Night City harbor and the two found a place on the outskirts of the combat zone.  Bevel immediately went looking for work.   After a while he managed to get a job as security for a local club.  One night a fight broke out and Bevel took down four men in under 30 seconds, as it happened Ken's band was playing that night and he suggested that Bevel should try a different employer.  Bevel was introduced to Char and was soon on the payroll.  Bevel is compulsive and will always finish anything he starts.

Karl was born in the combat zone, his parents were Irish Americans who ran with a forgotten gang.  When Karl was 11 years old he watched from a rooftop as the cops invaded the combat zone, he stared in horror as the police put 34 bullets into his fathers body and beat his mother to death.  After it was all over Karl went down to the street and desperately searched for some reminder that his parents once lived, all he found was blood.  Karl was alone, he roamed the combat zone.  The denizens of the zone knew what happened to the boy and would take him in whenever possible, feeding and clothing him, but most of the time he spent alone.  When he was 16 he met Sarah Jones.  She was another orphan of the zone and the two became companions and lovers and when they were 18 she became pregnant.  When Sarah went into labor Karl panicked and stole a car, put Sarah into the car and drove for a hospital.  As fate would have it the car was pulled over two blocks from the hospital.  When the police walked towards the vehicle Karl jumped out and begged them to get her to the hospital but his rapid movement startled the police and they, fearing he might be armed and on drugs (so the police report goes), began hitting him over the head with their billy clubs, Karl tried to tell them, but every time he tried to stand they would only hit him again.  Sarah got out of the car and ran towards the police screaming for them to stop, that's when they turned on her.  They beat her into unconsciousness before realizing her condition.  Karl saw it out of the corner of his eye just before lapsing into unconsciousness.  When he awoke he was in a cell and there was a doctor outside.  The doctor informed him that Sarah had died during childbirth from severe abdominal hemorrhaging, they had lost the baby as well.  Karl lost it, he began screaming and throwing himself against the bars, the police had to tranquilize him.  When his eyes opened again he heard a man talking , he stayed very still, the man was joined by another, it was the two police who had stopped them.  He heard the door to his cell open and leapt up just as the two men were entering, the first officer he hit hard in the forehead, knocking him out, he leaped onto the second before he could scream and ripped out his throat with his teeth.  He beat the other policeman to death with his own club.  Soaked in blood he made his way towards the end of the cell block, the guard had his back to Karl.  Karl snuck up took his gun then ordered him to open the door.  after a bloody shoot-out in the jail Karl escaped and disappeared into the zone.  Word soon spread and eventually reached Chars ears, Karl was approached by Autumn Blade and invited into the organization.  Karl is somber and quiet, he hates police and if a job means he might have the chance to kill a few he will take it no matter what the risk.

Patrick was the son of a european solo, and spent his childhood listening to his fathers exploits.  Whenever his father was on assignment he would train with his dads equipment and hire himself out as muscle to the neighborhood kids.  He was never really a bully, but there was something about his eyes that made him very intimidating.  When he was 15 his father took him to New York and set up shop in America.  One day after accepting a job Patricks father simply never came home.  Patrick had plenty of money but was very lonely, he decided to take up his fathers business and soon found a partner and friend in a Japanese youth named Keosho Komaru.  The two made a good pair until they were hired by a Militech corp to extract a rival's daughter and escort her to Night City to be held for ransom.  All went smooth at first, but Patrick and the girl fell in love.  For Keosho, the love of money was greater than friendship and when Patrick least expected it Keosho struck.  He shot Patrick several times and left him for dead on the side of the road in Arizona.  Patrick survived, although he spent 4 months in a coma.  Upon waking up he set out to track down Keosho and find the girl but soon learned that the deal had gone sour and the girl was killed.  Patrick underwent cosmetic surgery and changed his face and name, he also had a device implanted to change his voice as well.  He found Keosho in Night City.  Needing money before he could take his revenge, he again became a freelance gun.  After several successful ventures he attracted the attention of Autumn Blade.  Char approached him and Patrick accepted, telling Char his story.  As fate would have it, Keosha had been employed by Autumn Blade earlier that year.  Char made a deal with Patrick, when the time came Keosho would be his, but for the time being the organization needed him.  Patrick accepted and has since been buddying up to Keosho who has no idea that Kevin is really Patrick.

Keosho spent his early childhood with his parents, living a quiet life in a corporate zone in the Kobe prefecture.  As he grew older he became involved in a bozuka gang.  His parents unable to do anything else as the boy was constantly getting into trouble with the law and had dropped out of high school, disowned the boy.  After committing a murder at the age of  18 he was forced to flee the country.  He found himself in New York and quickly partnered himself with Patrick.  After his betrayal of Patrick he made his way to Night City with the girl and when the father refused to pay he killed her.  Setting up shop in NC he quickly earned a reputation for having the ability to do any job with out a qualm.  Autumn Blade had been looking for an assassin without morals and discretely picked up his contract through a middle man.  Keosho doesn't know who he works for he only knows that the bill is always paid.  Keosho has been said to have no soul,  and his attitude and demeanor would suggest some truth to that.  Whenever possible he will use a sword to finish an opponent but will begin an attack by hitting from behind his target.

Elgins parents were Brazilian coffee pickers who illegally immigrated to California in the late eighties.  Elgin grew up in the slums of old San Bernadino, and was very active in the street gangs there.  By the age of twelve he was a full fledged member of "13 Posse",  the gang survives to this day and now operates in the dry ruins of LA and the combat zone of Night City.  Elgin has become a ranking member and is known only as "Bulldog" on the street.  For an old school "gangsta" Elgin has oddly enough developed a true sense of honor, he doesn't do the drugs his gang sells on the street and will go out of his way to make sure innocents aren't harmed in rival disputes and executions.  The reason 13 Posse survived is that they front arms and drugs to the other gangs and so are a valuable presence in the underground gang community of  California.  Elgins sense of honor made him the logical choice to maintain Autumn Blades weapon sales to the street gangs of NC and the surrounding area.  It works out fairly well, Char supplies the guns and ammunition and Elgin sells them to all but the largest gangs.  (Char deals with the larger gangs personally.)  Elgin knows a good thing when he sees it and will not jeopardize his relationship with Autumn blade.  Elgin is primarily muscle for the gang, and is only a fixer as far as his dealings with Char go, he does not personally sell the guns, nor do his fellow gang bangers know where he gets them from.  This mystery works for him however and is one of the reasons he has such a high standing in the gang.

Dar is a 17 year old girl and partner to Christian Alexander.  She has never told anyone where she is from or what her real name is.  She has been riding with Christian since she was 15 and has been his lover since the day they met.  Normally one would question a man for having relations with a girl so young but this pair are ruthless killers and to ask the wrong question will receive an answer in the form of a knife in your belly and urine on your corpse.  These two are ruthless and slaughter happy, they are employed tentatively by Autumn Blade but are only used for the dirtiest of jobs.  The river of blood they leave behind is vast, no one knows who they work for, no one cares, they just get out of their way.  Actually they work for the highest bidder, but Char is holding something over their heads that keeps them loyal.  No one knows what it is, but it must be big to hold these bloodthirsty monsters in place, for they have never betrayed him.

After he left the dojo Ken went on to become an accomplished musician.  He is currently a member of  2 bands both of which he is a front man for.  One band is a ska band which changes names almost every gig, the other is a jazz band called Slanted Heart.  He started out singing for the ska band and only stays now because of the energy he gets from it.  The jazz band is his real passion.  Occasionally he plays parties and always plays when Char throws one, so he can jokingly be classified as the Autumn Blade musical director.  Actually he is included here because of his relation to Yumi and the fact the Autumn Blade owns his recording label....Wake Up records.  Ken is conceited but otherwise friendly and laid back, the conceit comes from his success with the ladies.

Connor is one of the youngest field operatives of Autumn Blade, but he has proved himself many times over.  While his life socially is not very fulfilling what he accomplishes inside the net is astonishing.  He has broken into the highest security datafortresses and left without a trace of detection.  He was recruited into the organization when he was caught accessing files in their database.  His skill at avoiding trouble and staying calm while doing his job in the net has made him the most respected field netrunner in the organization and he has been given a special van with a full communications and interface suite.  He also has an unlimited budget when it comes to what he needs to accomplish an objective.   Although as a netrunner he is extremely formidable, he is virtually useless in any other aspect of operations and in combat he is more likely to run and hide than fight back.  This is overlooked and he is usually quite a distance away from any conflict that might arise.  Not alot is known of his past.  He spent his childhood in corporate suburban Australia, his parents were reeducated for subversion against the company, and he was sent to a corporate school.  While at school his Dean, recognizing his ability made a deal with him.  Connor embezzled 200 thousand eb for him, and in return Connor was given his freedom and a plane ticket to the USA.    Conner is reclusive and shy, he only comes alive in the net.  He has become quite wealthy but his social life is nonexistent.  His only real friends are Jacque, Jesse, and Thomas and has never had a romantic interest, although he is well liked, trusted and respected by almost all of the organization.

Alex was raised in the combat zone, his parents ran numbers for a a small time criminal and were not in the habit of doting on their son.  Alex managed to get a hold of a cybermodem when he was 12 and immersed himself in the net.  He soon learned the skills needed to create any program necessary to do the job.  At the age of 15 his parents found his modem and sold it.  In retaliation Alex simply walked to the nearest Dataterm and created a false "shoot on site," warrant for killing a police officer, then called the police and gave the location of his parents.  SWAT showed up 20 minutes later and killed his parents when they tried to run.  Alex grieved for two full minutes, then hacked his way into enough money to set him up right and began his life as a netrunner specializing in writing intrusion programs and anti Ice software.

Alex was one of the first employees of Autumn Blade and was hired through headhunters.  Alex would hold Connor's spot as top field runner if it weren't for his own agendas.  Earlier this year Alex embezzled 2 million dollars from Autumn Blade.  As retribution Char had a device implanted in his spine that when remote activated can either cause excruciating pain, or outright kill him.  If the device is tampered with or an attempt is made to remove it by anyone else than Ishima, it will explode.  The reason Char did not kill him is because he is simply too valuable, and he is devious enough to have certain failsafes in the event of an untimely disappearance.  Alex is cocky and devious, and his attitude and betrayal have caused him to be despised by other members of Autumn Blade.  He has become very paranoid of Char and will always do as instructed.  As a further lesson to keep him in check, he was present when Char personally put a bullet into the brains of his co-conspirators.

Dar's partner and one of the most ruthless violent men alive.  As mentioned with Dar, Autumn Blade only uses these two when all other methods are out of the question.  Christian was a feral child who was found by a nameless nomad clan.  He was raised as best as possible, but Christian simply hated people.  Upon reaching 13 he began his career as an outrider, only joining the clan when absolutely necessary.  By 19 he realized he hated being tied down to the clan, so he left and worked freelance, hiring out as outrider to whoever was making the longest trips.  He has ridden with most of the clans but very few know him personally, even though almost all nomads know of him.  He met Dar in a shit bar in a shit town, when she was 15.  She was running from some bikers intent on raping her when she bumped into his motorcycle, the bikers took one look at him and ran.  Christian himself doesn't know why he decided to let the girl join him...perhaps he was lonely, or perhaps he just needed a woman, but whatever the reason he took her with him.  A few miles out of town the bikers and their friends caught up to them determined to get the girl back and show the stranger who's turf he was on. Christian attacked them, and much to his surprise Dar fought like a hellcat alongside him.  The two have been partners and lovers ever since and they are the only ones either of them can stand.  Christian is an opium addict and  borderline alcoholic, he is also prone to fits of rage and has only rarely left an opponent alive.
