**Bio:** A Seattle native, Harrold Palmer was born and raised in the Redmond Barrens. He ran with the Halloweeners for a time before striking out on his own under the streetname of "Rudeboy". In his day, he was lauded as one of the meanest mothers in the Shadowrunning game. Rudeboy was even rumored to have killed his own parents after discovering they'd been selling him out to Lone Star. He was a member of the Wrecking Crew, a hardcore team of the shadow's finest -- lead by Burning Embers, an Amerindian street samurai. Palmer resented Embers for his ironclad role as the team's leader, and there was always some bad blood between the two shadowrunners. The group worked out of a bar called the Skeleton Crew, where Rudeboy fell for a dancer named Jasmine. Their affair ended quickly, and Jasmine began seeing Embers instead. For Rudeboy, this was the last straw, and he double-crossed his own team on a run against Shiawase -- ratting them out for a fat chunk of nuyen. The Wrecking Crew was ambushed by a heavily-armed security detail, and everyone but Rudeboy and Embers were killed. Embers confronted Palmer, and in the ensuing battle Harry was burned about the head and face -- then dropped into the gear-works of a large production machine. Miraculously, he survived having his entire body shattered, and the machine jettisoned him into a nearby sewerage pit when Embers detonated the facility. He was discovered by a Shiawase response team, and fixed by the corporation. He spent the next 7 years of his life working off the debt before returning to the streets with vengeance on his mind. It would take another 2 years before he put his plan into action...

**Group Involvement:** In 2063, Harry Palmer hired the Team to assassinate the retired Roy Embers -- now owner of Pier 47 -- and kidnap his family. The shadowrunners smelled a rat, however; and the group began digging for background on their Johnson. They all had different theories and ideas on what to do, but Anne-Marie eventually hired the other team members herself -- to go against Palmer and warn Embers! Roy "Burning" Embers, retired shadowrunner, with the help of the Team, then launched a counter-offensive against Rudeboy at a construction site. The two old enemies met in mortal combat once again, but this time Palmer bested Embers -- only to be shot to death by Anne and Nova, dropped 5 stories, impaled on a girder, his corpse mutilated, and then his remains buried under a ton of rubble.
