The New Autumn Blade Update |
THIS ARTICLE IS INTENDED FOR USE BY THE GM'S, THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION WOULD NOT BE COMMON KNOWLEDGE TO CHARACTERS OR THE PUBLIC AND SHOULD BE KEPT CONFIDENTIAL, THE ONLY PART OF THIS ARTICLE THE CHARACTERS WOULD HAVE ANY KNOWLEDGE OF ARE THE WEAPONS AND EQUIPMENT, AND EVEN THEN THERE ARE ITEMS THAT WOULD BE UNAVAILABLE TO THEM.
The organization has two primary agendas. The first is the international black market sale of arms and munitions, and it is an interest in which they excel. Autumn Blade's reputation for quality, price, and anonymity is unmatched anywhere in the United States or in the Orient. Generally only dealing in high quality or military weaponry it has been said that NOTHING is unattainable to the Autumn Blade. For the right fee the organization will procure anything, from the newest Malorian handgun to military aircraft. In fact Autumn Blade controls the arms trade for the west coast and is growing in power every day.
The second means of income for Autumn Blade is its special service teams. The syndicate will contract out teams for any number of assignments from personal security to black ops. The operatives of Autumn Blade are masters in their field but for the sake of the organizations anonymity all personnel are kept under a low profile. So while many are the top in there professions few have a reputation at all.
Anonymity is the number one concern of Autumn
Blade
and all business dealings come second to it. On rare occasions
multi-million
dollar deals have been abandoned on a hunch. Only the most
trusted
clients meet with the heads of Autumn Blade personally and many
never
know who they are dealing with at all. One of many faceless
representatives
will approach a prospective client, usually the representative has no
idea
of his employer and only after a several deals have been successfully
closed
and background checks run on the client will he ever meet with the head
of the organization. However whenever a deal is made whether for
an arms or special
services a demonstration will always be provided
as
well as a gift.
In addition to the sale of weapons and special services Autumn Blade also has criminal dealings in the Asian community such as prostitution, the fencing of stolen goods and gambling, these are minor interests of Autumn Blade and the organization is very careful not to cross boundaries when it comes to these areas of business. The organization also dabbles lightly in the drug trade, opium, hash, and marijuana only though, and inside the organization there is strict intolerance policy towards anything harder. In addition to the criminal aspect, Autumn Blade also controls many legitimate businesses, the largest is Nakajimo Imports. Restaurants, night clubs, grocery stores,Wake Up records and Mama Sifu and Papa Sensei's school of martial arts are all owned by Autumn Blade. The subsidiary branches of the organization be they legal or otherwise generally have no idea they are affiliated and are carefully positioned so as not to intrude on anyone else's territory. The legal subsidiaries serve not only as an extra source of income but also as a front for money laundering.
The final secret to Autumn Blades success and anonymity is information. The head of the organization has an uncanny ability to find dirt on anyone and has powerful contacts all over the world. From top ranking military officers and government officials, to heads of corporations. Information and favors have paved the way for Autumn Blades empire. In Night City the organization is almost all knowing and very little escapes its watchful eye.
Even though the organization is based in Night
City
it takes very little interest in affairs of state unless it concerns
Autumn
Blade directly. Although they make sure to stay abreast of all
current
developments utilizing any and all chances that arise to further
its own interests.
