Jacque grew up an orphan in the streets of France.  When he was 9 he was taken in by a pick pocket known only by the name Fetus.    Fetus taught the boy every thing he knew but there was little money in his current specialization.  Jacque had his eyes set on bigger things.  He became a cat burglar and was getting pretty good.   Unfortunately when he was 15 he was caught trying to escape a house he had just burgled.  He was arrested, sentenced, and sent to a juvenile camp.   While serving his sentence, Jacque became friends with the camp art teacher.  The teacher taught Jacque about the value of art and taste, introducing the boy to the finer things in life, as well as teaching the boy to be quite a skilled artist himself.  The boy found class and style to be to his liking.  Nine months after Jacque had been at the camp though, his teacher was transferred to serve as Art Director for a museum in Belgium.  The following week Jacque escaped.  He spent the next few years honing his skills and became a very accomplished thief.  He would steal priceless paintings from the tightest security areas leaving only a bolt from his crossbow behind as a calling card.  Because of his signature the Media began dubbing him the "Arrow."  As skilled as he was, the pressure in Europe became to much.  He boarded a cruise ship to America and made Night City his stomping grounds.  He was soon becoming known in NC for his exploits when he decided on a caper that would change his life.  He was hired to steal an original Muramasa blade from the Nakajimo Building, where it was on display.  As Jacque was making his escape goods in hand he was caught by Scott Harada and brought before Char. The floor of the Nakajimo Building where the blade was being held was owned by Autumn Blade and the sword itself was the ancestral blade of the Hayagama clan.

Char was very impressed by the young thief.  He hired him on the spot.  Jacque, after several assignments soon proved himself trustworthy and honorable...for a thief anyway.  Since then he has been trained in many combat related skills including firearms training and martial arts.  Today Jacque is the most trusted member of Autumn Blade outside of the inner circle.  He still works freelance but has become invaluable to Autumn Blade and has been sent on more assignments than any other operative save for Scott and Yumi.  Jacque is a master thief and a fair acrobat, inside the organization his stealth ability is second only to Neko's.  His reputation as Arrow remains high and only a very select few know he is one and the same, and to insure the organizations anonymity, on assignments for Autumn Blade he is forbidden to leave a calling card.  He is generally friendly and outgoing although he can be quite a scoundrel.  His best friend is the young Shaolin Chun-li who teaches at Mama Sifu's   and Papa Sensei's dojo.   He is deeply in love with Kilikena Grey but the scoundrel in him has led to affairs with other women in the past.  Now that she is pregnant Jacque is considering marriage, but whether this will come to pass remains to be seen.

Mark was raised in an orphanage, like so many children of the time his parents had abandoned him.  The boy was found in a dumpster by Police and placed in the North California upstate home for boys.  He was placed with several foster families but always ended up back in the orphanage after a pet or three had suddenly turned up dead, or a fight with a neighborhood boy had resulted in hospitalization.  At the age of 16 Mark left the orphanage to disappear in the slums of Night City.  Here he didn't fare as well and was constantly prayed on by the gangs of whatever neighbor hood he happened to find himself in.  Fed up with his current role in Darwin's theory he decided it was time to become one of the strong.  First he acquired a firearm, then used it to commit several muggings in the corporate sector......almost getting pinched on numerous occasions but somehow managing to stay ahead of the police.  When he had acquired enough cash he bought a shipment of arms and began selling them in the combat zone.  After a few years his business began to pick up and his reputation spread to Autumn Blade.  He was approached one night with 20,000 eb worth of military grade weapons and offered a deal.  He would receive more weapons every month and if he had special orders those would be filled as well.  He would receive 30% of the profit and deposit the rest in an anonymous account wired to Switzerland. The supplier remained anonymous but Mark couldn't pass up the offer......he no longer had to pay for or procure his wares himself and that was just perfect by him.  He has no idea that the supplier of his merchandise is Autumn Blade nor has he any knowledge of the organization other than rumors.  Nevertheless he fills an important role in the organization, as supplying weapons in the Combat Zone is not something Char wants to deal with directly.

Mark is a violent and generally untrustworthy man, he is held in check by Autumn Blade through necessary threats and ample rewards when his work is deemed satisfactory.  So far he has yet to betray his benefactors but he is watched closely.  He has currently employs a 17 year old body guard  named Maddoc "Mad Dog" McGraw, the youth is a mentally insane homicidal psychopath addicted to Sythcoke and Taz, and is just as apt to stab someone in the neck as to ask for a cup of coffee.  Due to the pairs violent tendencies Autumn Blade is currently scouting for other more reliable sources to take their place.

Tony was just another homeless child growing up in the "Zone," no parents no siblings.  He grew up running in the alleys, picking pockets whenever he could and pulling small B&E jobs.  During adolescence he fell in with a gang and shuffled through the ranks as he grew older.  It was during this time that he was introduced to narcotics.  He found opium to be his vice of choice and quickly became a dealer to support his habit.  Originally he set up shop around the campus but soon the Voodoo Boyz muscled him out.  While trying to find new stomping grounds he came upon Thomas Johnson, who happened to be looking for what he was selling at the time.
As time passed the two became fairly well aquatinted and soon Thoman recommended him to Autumn Blade.  Char anonymously set him up in the waterfront district and now Tony is Autumn Blades dealer of opium and hash for that area.  Tony is another one of the organizations members with absolutely no real knowledge of Autumn Blades existence.  He is fairly calm and generally relaxed when dealing with clients, he doesn't take any unnecessary risks and keeps his head above water, unfortunately he also has a habit of pinching his merchandise and while this
has been ignored by Autumn Blade in the past how long this lasts remains to be seen.

Marie is the team leader of a Night City C-SWAT squad and a permanent employee of Autumn Blade.  When her lover and fellow C-SWAT member, Matt Worley, was killed on a call, she stayed by his side and waited for an ambulance, he died in her arms and the perp escaped.  Tied down by the department there was no way she could find the perp, she searched the streets exhaustively on her own time, but to no avail.  One night after rousting a contact she was approached by a man cloaked in shadows.  The man made an offer,  she would work for Autumn Blade and the man who killed her partner would be delivered to her.  Marie thought hard about it, she had joined the force to uphold justice, but she had come to the realization that law and justice were not the same thing.  She accepted the offer and has been on the payroll ever since.  Marie is a good cop, yet she also leaks information to Autumn Blade and has even worked as an operative when time and her schedule have allowed it.  (see also NCPD.........coming soon)

Thomas's parents were Jamaicans living in Mexico, when the soldiers came through on their "long walk" they simply joined up.  Thomas, was taken under the wing of the entire motor pool,and along the way learned the insides and out of every military vehicle that was still running. He  would often stay behind with them to try and fix or salvage the ones that stopped running.  Thomas is a true Rasta and cultivates his own Marijuana, he also listens to reggae and has a large collection of original Bob Marley on vinyl.  He met Connor and Jacque a few years ago, and the three are now best friends, they work together whenever possible.  Thomas is picky fussy and nervous, but when he is sufficiently stoned he is the most laid back member of the entire organization.  He has no qualms about joining a fray and he is a true tinkerer.  He is a street level Macgyver, and can pull off virtually any temporary repair with almost no tools whatsoever.

Xerox's parents were crackheads and his mother gave birth to him in a gas station.  The first thing her mother saw after he popped out was the copy machine so she named her boy Xerox.  Luckily his mother had cut back considerably during her pregnancy and advances in medical science were able to keep Xerox healthy.  He was almost immediately removed from the custody of his parents and put in a foster home.  Xerox is not very bright but he can work wonders with an engine.  His foster father was a mechanic and the boy was a motorhead from the age he was able to speak.  Xerox is a good kid and his comrades make sure to keep him safe.

Seth is a Night City native, he grew up in the combat zone and his parents ran a free clinic/ emergency ward.  Seth respected his parents for their convictions but hated them for giving away their services for free.  Seth learned as much as he could about medicine and first aid from his parents and by the age of twelve was assisting in the ever increasing number of emergency procedures at the clinic.  Around the age of 18 Seth started making house calls then was struck with a plan.  He started selling drugs from the clinic on the street.  He was soon making the money he had always longed for and every thing was going well, until his plan backfired.  A morphine junkie decided to stop paying and just take what he wanted..  Seth was out when it happened,  the young addict burst into the clinic with a submachine gun and when his parents refused to give him what he wanted he cut them down and fled.  Seth was crushed,  the neighbor hood however found the addict and enacted their own brand of justice.  After beating them to within an inch of his life they brought the murderer to Seth.  Seth killed him slow.  Later Seth realized it was all his fault and left the neighborhood, ashamed to face himself let alone his neighbors, who had come to depend upon and respect his parents.  Seth began hiring himself out as a freelance combat medic,  he would take high risk jobs for little pay and was on a suicide course when Autumn Blade found him.  Char had been looking for someone to replace Kilikena and Seth fit the bill perfectly.  Seth has found friends among this close knit criminal organization, and has even begun to stop hating himself.  Seth is an excellent medic but he is not afraid to enter the firefight himself, he is just as comfortable popping caps as he is dressing a wound.

James is perhaps one of the unluckiest men alive.  He has been shot, stabbed, and generally maimed on almost every mission he has ever undertaken.  In fact, the reason he got into medicine in the first place was so he would have the gear to save himself at all times.  James has always been a magnet for personal injury, as a child he set the record in his neighbor hood for bloody noses, scabbed knees, etc...  With his slight body and shy demeanor, he also made an easy target for the bullies and gangs of his childhood environment.  Although he ends up getting hurt more than anyone else, his courage is undoubted.  Having survived just about every type of personal injury, he has developed a fearless attitude towards combat.  He will walk straight into a firefight to pull out a wounded team mate, and always make sure everyone else in the group is stable before administering aid to himself.  His comrades laughingly call him "Decoy the boy target," but they also respect him and will go out of their way to help him.

There are other members of Autumn Blade, but with the exception of guards and other people who work and live at the mansion, none of them know what Autumn Blade is.   Many of them work for the legal subsidiary companies, and are in no position of standing in the organization and have never even heard of the existence of Autumn Blade, nor the man who owns their businesses.
