NOTABLE DEAD ZONERS

 

DOC MONGREL

Doc Mongrel doesn’t so much lead the Dead Zoners as much as he points them in a direction he wants them to run.  Many rumors abound about Mongrel, the truth is, that he was a behavioral therapist at a Night City Psychiatric facility, specializing in a revolutionary new drug therapy.  When a riot broke out, he was trapped inside the facility for 3 days, with the patients forcing him to take his own drugs as well as all committing all manner of horror to and around him.  When he was finally freed he was taken to a hospital for medical care, but disappeared soon after.

 

He fled to the Zone, and set up a pharmaceutical lab in a room in the basement of the elementary school, where he churns out powerful psychoactive drugs.  The drugs are highly addictive and bring on hallucinations, inhibit impulse control, quicken the heart rate, and create a heightened sense of aggression.  He uses these drugs and his skill at manipulation and persuasion to keep the Dead Zoners in line.


 

GENERAL JUICE

General Juice is one of two men who might be called a field leader in the Dee-Zees.  Since Mongrel almost never leaves his lab (likely because at this point its entirely possible the Dee-Zees would kill him just to get at his latest batch of drugs) he must rely on the Dead Zoners to bring him food and anything else he needs.  Juice has taken on something of a leadership role, and is Mongrels favored Dee-Zee… the closest thing he can get to a trusted right hand. 

 

General Juice leads many of the raids personally.  He used to be a soldier in another lifetime, but now he is as utterly savage as they come.

 

 

WEEZIL

If General Juice is Mongrels trusted right hand, Weezil is his insane left hand. Psychotic even by Dee-Zee standards.  Weezil was a nomad, a Raffen-Shiv, who betrayed his own pack.  He fled to Night City and ended up in the Zone.  He is extremely addicted to Mongrels drug, but always has a large stash with him, stealing it from lesser members… often offering it up to other gang members in return for support and loyalty.

Weezil is utterly ruthless and extremely manipulative and violent.  He fits in very well among the Dee-Zees, though he has no room for long term planning.  As long as he is kept sated with women, booze, and opportunities for violence, he is satisfied.  He has a tendency to torment even members of his own gang, occasionally killing them.  He and Juice get along only so long as there is enough to go around.

 

RECYCLER

Juice and Weezil are feared, but Recycler is truly terrifying.  He is avoided even by the most depraved of the Dee-Zee’s.  No one is quite sure of where he comes from or how he devolved into such a state, and he is too far gone over the edge to provide any answers himself, but what is known, the reason he is avoided, is that he is in the habit of removing limbs and organs from any body he comes across.  He sometimes trades these parts to a ripperdoc in the Zone in exchange for money and drugs, and sometimes he eats them.  His only companion is a dog he has trained to sniff out the dead and dying.  The animal is as addicted to drugs as its master.

 

GOOLY

Years of drug abuse have reverted Gooly to barely a shadow of a man.  He is little more than animal cunning and ferocity.  He speaks in single words sentences, and even then only rarely.  He avoids light, and tries to avoid any target he does not feel capable of defeating easily. 


He is dangerous in any situation, but if this nearly feral man is cornered he will lash out in a savage rage in order to escape.  He will do literally anything to acquire drugs.
