Mr. Underbridge is a Troll Lawyer, Snake Shaman and Shadowrunner (Sometimes you can't accomplish something legally, so you go Superlegally!). He also runs a company that makes affordable Troll-Sized and Strength modular furniture (Using Insta-Crete and pillows.).

He has a few Associates in the firm, a Paralegal, a few researchers, a few that run the furnature company and "Mr. Underhill", a Dwarf who used to be a Skip Tracer and Bounty Hunter. He can find anyone. Anyone.

Mr. Underbridge is a Level 4 Connection. At Loyalty Rating 1, you have his Business Card in your wallet/Comlink. At Level 2, you've done a run for him/done business before (For Trolls and large Orks, this includes buying your furnature set from him). At Level 3, you're a regular. And so on...

    Considering all the possibilities for the Star to nail any Shadowteam, it might be handy to have a Lawyer in your corner, eh?

    And the lack of a SIN means you don't get provided to you free of charge...

    I went kinda nutso in the comments section accusing this guy of using criminal hired help, in lieu of payment of legal fees.

    I caught that section of the advert saying "My company has various payment plans available for those with monetary problems but a real need for a lawyer" and just ran with it.

    Then he responds back all nice and I don't know where to go from here. Any suggestions?

    One possibility... Richeous indignation, and insist that one fellow from the Associates approached you insisting that you do the wetwork, "Or your legal cousel will be swiftly removed, and evidence that was contrairy to your innocence will be returned to Lone Star."

    I got something that might work.

    Better idea, I'll get the creator of the character to come up with something. (I was only reading the books, and vetoing stuff that doesn't fit with Shadowrun.).

    Perhaps one of the best ways that people often describe Mister Underbridge is "Imagine a Troll version of James Stewart."

    There's a niceness around him that you wouldn't associate with a Troll. And it's not that overblown 'genteel' kind that the toll comics like to do with the Cambridge accent and tea, no. Mister Underbridge is that nice neighbor next door (only he's huge, has horns and a handspan that can clutch a head like a baseball).

    He is a lover of old pre-digital films and quotes them freely when nessicary. HIs favorite one when counciling his clients is ironically enough from a James Stewart film.
    "In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant." Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."

    Of course he really does use shadowrun tactics with certain talented individuals but he never uses them lightly and they always have a certain Capraesque quality to them.

    Just don't think he's afraid to get physical. Like James Stewart in "Mr Smith Goes to Washington" he can pe pushed too far, and when that happens he won't hesitate to ball up his fists and throw a punch, or hurtle some interesting spells about. He wouldn't have orchestrated the disintigration the Fiery Eye Gang if he wasn't able to defend himself against their more 'Hardcore' members at the end.

    Notice that there was never any statement of denial of the accusations, BTW.

    Twisting words around is the job of a Lawyer, BTW.

    Or it could be something different altogether.
