**Bio:** A self-made billionaire, Andrew Smythe holds no less than seven Doctorates in the scientific and medical fields -- as well as two Masters in business and economics. He is the founder and CEO of numerous corporations including Trans-Genomic Biotech, Solaris Chemicals, Osirus-Prime R&D, and Icarus Labs. Though these corporations all deal in the national markets, they are based primarily in Seattle and Vancouver. Smythe himself lives in a massive estate on a private island off the coast of the Salish-Shidhe. He in turn employs many well-compensated Amerindians as his private staff. This reclusive and eccentric doctor of science is well-known among Seattle's social elite. While generously supporting the NAN, he also donates to several important Seattle-based charities. He has recently announced his candidacy for the Governorship of Seattle. Some of his critics are not so easily accepting, however; and Andrew Smythe has been accused of everything from metahuman cleansing to the practice of blood magic. Are these accusations based in reality? Or are they simply part of a smear campaign run by his opposition?

**Group Involvement:** Before there was ever a Team, Nova and Johnathan were hired to protect Allan Smythe -- Andrew's son. A bounty has been placed on the boy's head, and the runners successfully delivered him into the hands of his old man.
