Helmut Miniatis is a sample NPC from our Night City scumpunks campaign. He represents a fairly average member of Operation:Axe (misnamed on the street as the Blade Division). Operation:Axe is a project by which the police force is augmenting some members to fairly extreme levels and left to operate withing various departments of the police force. Miniatis works in the organized crime division in Night City, where he's been since he retired from the Russian Mafiya 5 years ago during a nasty dobule-cross incident involving his cover being blown open with a few hand grenades. He then sold his soul to the Police and has become one of their top field operatives. Operation:Axe members are not allowed to retire, with the amount of cybernetics the force has put into them they are quietly considered to be the "property" of the force. Miniatis has no problems with this as long as he can keep working against the various organized crime factions in town, but other members of the unit are less enthused by the idea of indefinite servitude to the powers that be, although it is usually considered preferable to selling your soul to a corporation.

Miniatis plays his role to the hilt - he is the extreme cop. Generally keeping his own counsel and acting "dark and sinister". He is incredibly overconfident and generally doesn't bother with lower echelon members of the organizations he is fighting unless they are somehow threatening him or if acting against them will prove a point. He is the bad cop every time, behind his double-tinted armorplast shades and black trenchcoat is a very alien being, twisted from his humanity by all the tech the force has crammed into his body. Miniatis is not a happy man. He is easily irritated and his drug use only unbalances him more. He is generally respected beyond his rank inside the force, even though no one (besides the chief and other Operation:Axe members) knows for certain of his Axe affiliation. In fact, most members of Operation:Axe are feared and often treated as Maverick cops by the other cops, regardless of their actions, just because of their dwindling humanity.
