Breaker

Overview

Real name Tomas Baptiste. Kenny Log-ins’ childhood friend from the Drift — part of the same kid crew (alongside Kenny and Annie Linux) that used to imitate Kenny’s edgerunner parents by playing at breaking into maintenance spaces and cargo facilities. Part of Kenny’s life path, unconfirmed in play so far.

Known Facts

• Escaped the disastrous job that sent Kenny into orbit; the two haven’t reconnected since
• Afterward, joined a Nomad shipping clan — works freight between Drift settlements, coastal ports, and Nomad shipping routes into Night City (cargo handler, salvage diver, navigator, or smuggler, depending how it’s played)
• Represents the life Kenny might have had if the Kourou job had never happened — well-traveled, competent, still rooted in a family/clan structure
• May distrust Kenny on sight, not knowing whether he was a prisoner, employee, collaborator, or beneficiary of whatever happened after he vanished into the corporate orbital system
• Reportedly possesses something recovered from the failed job — exact nature unconfirmed (could be stolen data, family planning notes, a launch manifest, or a physical component)

Open Questions

• What does he actually think happened to Kenny?
• What is he carrying from the original job, and does he know what it is?
• Would his shipping clan’s business ever intersect with Night City events?
