Description

A tall, sharp-featured elf who looks more at home behind a terminal than at a crime scene. Cold grey eyes, short dark hair, a pale, perpetually sleep-deprived face. Forgettable in a crowd - exactly how he likes it. Often seen in stylish yet utilitarian formal clothing, mirror-shade glasses, and synthetic AR gloves.

Likes:
- Cold synth soykaf. Always cold. No milk. No explanation;
- Old corporate training manuals. He collects and annotates them for inconsistencies. It’s not fun - it’s ritual;
- Hard dance techno. Never dances;
- Shiawase fashion.

Dislikes:
- Being called ‘detective’ outside the precinct;
- When someone says "You look tired." He is tired. It's not a personality;
- People who call themselves "team players" in the first five minutes;
- Shiawase management.

Background

Before he ever wore a badge or carried a sidearm, Karl Kincaid was a ghost in spreadsheets. Raised by a union accountant and a city zoning clerk in Everett, he grew up surrounded by bureaucracy and backdoors. His gift wasn’t charm or speed - it was noticing things others ignored. He didn’t talk much, but he listened well. By the time he finished his degree in financial forensics from a Wuxing-partnered institute, he was already picking holes in insurance data to relax.

Shiawase picked him up early - low-profile, high-potential. He spent nearly a decade inside the megacorp's audit and compliance wings, quietly climbing ranks through relentless accuracy and a refusal to play politics. He wasn’t flashy. He wasn’t sociable. But he could smell fraud like blood in the water. And in 2067, he caught a big one: a shell scheme linking procurement accounts to ghost subsidiaries - with help from someone in internal security.

The fallout should have made his career. Instead, it nearly ended it.

When Karl refused to sanitize the report, his partner, Ishiro Tanaka, handed him over to the wolves. The scandal was quietly contained, the damage spun. Karl was escorted out with full severance, a glowing HR file, and a Trust Fund stipend - hush money with a PR bow. Shiawase buried the truth. What couldn’t be buried was Karl's reputation - not for ethics, but for being inconvenient.

He could have gone private sector. Instead, he went to Lone Star. Not for justice. Not for revenge. For access. For files. For patterns. The streets had their own kind of fraud, and he knew how to follow the thread. Now, he applies the same logic and instinct to street-level deceit that once uncovered boardroom rot.

Behind every false alibi, every crooked affidavit, every "lost" file - Karl sees the shape of a cover-up.

Yes, he’s paranoid about it.
