Alvin Partridge
Overview
CEO of Escalante, a designer clothing brand. Described by Broker as erratic and “psycho.” His recent instability is Broker’s main motivation for trying to leverage his situation elsewhere.
Known Facts
- CEO of Escalante (designer clothing brand, comparable to Uniqlo)
- Had an important package go missing from South Bay; contents either next year’s Escalante winter collection or something more sinister — he was notably vague about which
- Assigned Isabella Taka to accompany Broker’s crew on the recovery job
- Broker is working to recover the package to stay in Partridge’s good graces
- Still actively pursuing a partnership with Continental Brands as of Session 07; unaware his own crew (via Broker) was directly responsible for the very public Session 06 raid on CB’s South Town facility
- Session 07: confronted Broker about CB mercs getting “run off the property” during the raid; accepted Broker’s spin (an unnamed “mysterious bandit” contractor operation) after a successful Business roll, and remains confident in Broker’s handling of the account
Open Questions
- What is actually in the Escalante package?
- What other operations or interests does Partridge have that might explain the ambiguity about the contents?
- How dangerous is he, specifically?
- What happens to the Continental Brands partnership push if he ever learns Broker’s own crew caused the Session 06 raid?
Appearances
- Session 00 — Mentioned as Broker’s CEO; missing package is the session 1 mission hook
- Session 01 — Referenced; sent Isabella along to watch over the job (off-screen)
- Session 03 — Received the recovered data cube from Broker during downtime; was pleased; endorsed the CB retainer arrangement; paid out 1,500 EB for the recovery (≈300 EB per crew member after expenses)
- Session 07 — Questioned Broker about the Continental Brands raid; accepted his cover story and remains committed to the CB partnership push
