Brent was born Johnny Devane in Colorado Springs in 1987.  His father, Mike Devane, was an instructor at the Air Force Academy there, and his mother was a tour guide for NORAD.  Little Johnny spent a pleasantly normal childhood there, attending public school and being groomed for life in the military.  His parents also enrolled him in  Muy Thai training when he was 12 with instructor Kim Yuongs to further encourage the boys appetite for discipline and focus.   At 16 he received his IFAA certification and was making a name for himself in local and state tournaments.  A year later he was made senior martial arts instructor of the school.  At 18 Johnny enrolled in the military immediately after graduation, his parents initial approval was soon strained as he revealed he had not joined the Air Force, but instead the Navy.  Johnny's military career was off to a good start, he scored very high with his instructors at basic, then put in immediately for SEAL training, again graduating at the top of his class and was assigned to a SEAL team serving in Asia.  It was here he met Betty Bladge, and almost immediately the two became inseparable friends, in the field as well as off duty.  Eventually Johnny was made team commander, in his tour of duty receiving both the Purple Heart and the Navy Cross.  Then in the fall of 2011, after a particularly airy mission in which the entire team but Johnny and Betty were lost, they were both recruited by the C.I.A..  It was here that both their lives began to change.  They were being sent worldwide on assignments, mostly to northern Africa and southern Europe.   The lifestyle suited them both well, and gave them the sense of adventure and excitement both had craved.  Then everything came screeching to a halt.  In late 2014 early 15' they discovered the C.I.A. branch they had been working for had actually been disbanded several years before, and that they were working for a group that was operating illegally for the purposes of creating tension between the EEC and their allies.  The two friends launched a plot to get out, and over the course of a year made preparations for their departure.  It wasn't easy, though the two were trusted agents who had proved themselves time and again, they simply knew too much for their superiors to ever let them go.  Their preparations led to the faking of their deaths during a mission in Algeria.  The two changed their names, and Johnny Devane became Brent Delcour.  They laid low, traveling back to America by way of  smugglers and aquatic nomad groups and eventually came to rest in Night City California.  They waited 2 full years, during which time they acquired new credentials, slightly altered their faces through surgery, and began making connections, stockpiling a small arsenal of weapons equipment and contacts.  Finally when it seemed safe they came back on the scene as a free lance black ops team.  They started small and began working their way up, using a fixer to set them up with jobs anonymously.  It was through this fixer that they began working for Autumn Blade, without their knowledge of course.

Brent is a bit rough around the edges when not working, somewhat rude and obnoxious, especially towards women.  However on the job he is a professional all the way.  He and Natasha work only as a team, with him specializing in the physical aspects of a job.  Through years of working in the C.IA. he has grown accustomed to an expensive lifestyle, one which includes fast cars, fancy apartments, high fashion, and the latest tech.  Of course this means the team has too take the most high paying jobs available to them to be able to afford this lifestyle, which of course usually means great risk.  It is this habit of always being in either danger or debt that is lately causing friction between Boris and Natasha.  Brent keeps tabs on his parents, though he will not contact them for fear of putting them, and himself, in danger.

Born in 1996  in the Kobe prefecture of Japan, Inobu led a well disciplined childhood.  His father Takira was an instructor of Jeet Kun Do, which while not a popular art in Japan (where native arts were more respected), grew in popularity over the years.  His father also taught Kobujutsu  and the boy grew up exposed to the martial arts and the strict regimen imposed by his parents.  As Inobu grew older he began to resent the ordered and disciplined lifestyle, adn as most teenagers are wont to do he began rebelling.  His grades began to drop, his attitude changed and he began falling in with local speed gangs.  Things reached a head when he was 18.  After being arrested, his father fearful of the boy either falling under Yakuza influence, or dishonoring the family name, sent the boy to Hong Kong to attend college.   Inobu had a hard time adjusting, but soon fell in with a group of exchange students, who also happenned to be martial artists.  Feeling it unimportant to his future Inobu has allowed his studies to lapse, instead he and his friends pour most of their time and energy into the underground combat circles of Hong Kong.  It was here they were discovered by Autumn Blade when Char happened to be visiting on vacation.  Char uses Inobu and his friends primarily as operatives in Hong Kong, though none of them know the size of Chars organization or even its name.  Char works on their strengths, and Inobu as the best martial artist of the bunch is used primarily an enforcer, though he must be manipulated into doing this work.

Inobu is highly honorable, his chosen weapon being a custom wakizashi he carries under his coat in a special sling.  He will not willingly commit murder, or harm an innocent.  He is very moral, yet he is also very headstrong and arrogant.  He is extremely loyal to his friends, and will do anything for them.  He is also a fairly positive fellow, and tends to remain in a good mood, even when things go wrong.  A very competent martial artist, he is quickly gaining a reputation in the underground fighting circles.

Terrence comes from old money, his grandfather was one of Eichmans bodygaurds.  His grandfather went underground after WWII but was discovered and fled to America and changed his name.  The family moved around a lot in those days, buying up property but never staying in one place.   Sick of the running the family split up, and Terrences mother moved to Seattle Washington, where he grew up surrounded in decadence and luxury.  The knowledge of where the money came from has always been kept from Terrence, and his mother took it with her to the grave.  However, Terrence invested wisely, and as he grew older remembered the importance of contacts that his family used to travel from place to place.  He turned making contacts into a business, and in his old age has become a talent broker, with a very successful stable.  If someone on the west coast is looking for freelance work, or workers, Terrence is the man to see.  Not just for covert work either, if you need a construction crew, or a landscaper, or even a butler, Terrence can help.  While not really a big timer, Terrence does have his share of high dollar talent, most notably Boris and Natasha.  Autumn Blade uses him as a middle man, primarily since he is the type to keep his mouth shut and still produce results.  He is unaware of the true size and scale of Autumn Blade, but has a feeling the organization is bigger then he is led to believe.  Still he knows better than to start digging, as the arrangement he has is too lucrative to risk, and the people are too dangerous and resourceful to try and cross.  As far as the talent he deals with, he makes sure they get the best rates, and that the customer is always satisfied.

Terrence is completely business oriented.  When he does make jokes they are usually not funny, and more often than not ill timed, its a good thing he doesn't do it often.  He likes to meet both clients and talent in restaurants, and will always have them pay for the meal and the tip, while ordering the most expensive thin on the menu.  He is curt and to the point, and is very critical of bad manners or tardiness.  e speaks with a heavy german accent, and tends to wear old clothes, usually tweed suits.

Andrew lost his mother at an early age, his father was a hotel manager in Sydney Australia.  He spent most of his life weightlifting and surfing.  When he was 15 he became friends with a boy named Mike Billabug, the son of a nomad family his father had employed to work in the hotel and began learning U-Ra-Do from him.  As Andrew got older he and his father would move around alot, as his dad was transferred from one hotel to another.  He found it hard to make friends and became somewhat introverted.  However he did discover that the best way to be important to people was to have something they couldn't live without.  It was this discovery that led him to become a fixer, and he specialized in getting anything for the right price.  Electronics, drugs, bootleg albums, guns, even trading cards.  Wherever he went he would begin making connections immediately.  Recently his father was transferred to Hong Kong, and of course Andrew went with him, enrolling in college there where he met Inobu, Narcistus, and Ona.  Being another foreign student he was quickly invited into the group, and now spends nearly all his free time with them.  Not a very strong martial artist, though he is certianly very large and muscular, Andrews talents lie within his ability to get ahold of anything, and it is this that Autumn Blade uses him for most often.   Both in terms of supplying much of his demand, and in using him to procure items as well.  Like the rest of his friends, Inobu has no real idea of who or what he is working for.

Andrew, being somewhat introverted, is very quick tempered and somewhat manic.  He  is also very exciteable.  He will often go overboard when trying to meet and gain friends, often to the point of pushing them away, and he is very uncomfortable around girls, with whom he has little experiance.  He has a very short fuse, and when angry is likely to lash out.  Still his friends are his life, and he will do anything for them.  While enrolled in college, Andrew rarely attends classes, prefering to sleep late or just hang out.  He has a bit of a crush on Ona, but tries hard to hide it from her.  His friends tend to call him "Cheese" due to his personality and taste.

Ona's parents were mixed European,  wealthy and very eccentric.  They wanted a name for their daughter no one had ever heard before, and this attitude towards their daughter continued through her childhood.  Where one week she would be at one of the finest schools in England, the next she would be taking some art class in Paris, or on a tour of India with her parents.  While her life was full of culture, exciting and diverse, she had no real structure in her life.  Her parents plans to open her to the world around her, and to have her experience life at its fullest backfired.  Ona became listless, she had no real friends, no real home, and no sense of accomplishment, since every time she would start something she would abruptly have to leave again.  Finally she'd had enough, and when she turned 16 she moved to Hong Kong to go to school.   Here she met a martial arts instructor, an older man whom she fell in love with.  She moved in with him and attended school.  Here she at last found the structure in her life she so desperately needed.  Three years later, at the age of 42, her lover, Sifu Jason Leung, was murdered at the hands of an unknown martial artist.  She inherited his dojo/home, and although heartbroken, stayed in Hong Kong and attended college where she met Inobu, Andrew, and Narcista.  Now she haunts the underground martial arts circles hoping to find the man who killed her lover.  Ona attends class devoutly, especially chemistry and biology.  In addition to being a fair martial artist she is also becoming a decent chemist, and has begun manufacturing designer drugs, which she has Andrew sell for her.

Ona is a bit cold and withdrawn, not prone to emotional response.  She is very quick thinking and inventinve, and is often the one who devises solutions to whatever problems she and her friends come across.  She is also very manipulative, and uses every means at her disposal to achieve what she wants.  This is not to say she is immoral, she has a definate sense of honor and friendship, but is not above seduction, or underhandedness to accomplish her goals.  Lately however, due to her friends influence, she has begun showing more of an emotional side, and opening up to her friends.  And of course beneath all the angst, she is still a 20 year old girl, and is beginning to understand the importance of having good friends and a good time.

Narcista's parents are West Indian land owners, and one of the wealthiest families on the islands.  Her entire life she was spoiled rotten by her parents and was given virtually everything she wanted.  Eventually she became what is known as a brat, and began causing trouble with the locals.  This continued until she was 18, all the while her parents were wrapped around her finger.  By this time she had no friends, and was very unpopular on the islands.  Her parents had finally had enough of her indulgence, and decided to teach her a lesson.  They sent her to school in Hong Kong, her room and board, and tuition completely paid in advance, with the understanding that she would recieve no more money whatsoever until she graduated.  Narcista was dumb struck, she was in a strange country, with so many people, and needed sihps just to understand the language.  She was quickly ostracized and alone, and her attitude didn't help much.  In desperation she sought out other foreigners, any foreigners and ivited herself into the circle of frienship shared by Andrew, Inobu, and Ona.  They have thus far put up with her, and she and Ona have even become very close.  Narcista enrolled in the easiest classes she could, and has found her calling in the mechanical department, especially when it comes to making gadgets, many of shich don't always work as she intended.  She also tends to provide quite a distraction for her friends other activities, and often acts as a decoy when they are on assignment for Autumn Blade.  Narcista does not work for Autumn Blade, but collects a portion of her friends payment for any roll she might provide in an assignments accomplishment.  Competent in Capeoria and Bando, she can hold her own in a fight.

Narcista is very tempermental and headstrong, if things don't go her way she is prone to outburst and tantrums at the least, and in more drastic situations violent rage.  Her self indulgent nature and tendency towards calling trouble upon herself have at times made her extremely unpopular among her friends.  They tend to take her with a grain of salt, and in more delicate situations do not include her.  She is also somewhat addicted to drugs, mostly amphetamines, and this has caused many confrontations, both verbal and phsyical between her and her friends.  The last incident caused her friends to lock her in a room and force her to dry out in hopes that she will kick.  It seemed to have worked, however she has begun to drink heavily, and when the situation comes to a head it may be the final straw.
