Overview

Real name Cassandra Svitchek. An orbital systems engineer and netrunner who found Kenny Log-ins living as an undocumented stowaway in the maintenance spaces of an orbital station, years before he came to Night City. Part of Kenny’s life path, unconfirmed in play so far.

Known Facts

  • Noticed the pattern of small thefts and unauthorized repairs around the station before confronting Kenny directly: “You’re not as good at hiding as you think, son. It’s just that as long as you weren’t causing problems, nobody cared enough to do anything about it.”
  • Took Kenny on as an informal apprentice rather than reporting him — taught him station maintenance, electronics, security architecture, and how physical systems connect to net access; the foundation for both his Tech skillset and his later move into Netrunning
  • Years later, arranged Kenny’s return to Earth and entrusted his retrieval in Night City to Unity (Euna Tae-Araska)
  • Her deeper connection to Kenny’s family or the Fortress Kourou operation that took them is unconfirmed — possibilities range from a prior working relationship with Kenny’s parents to no connection at all beyond helping a kid who needed it

Open Questions

  • Did she know Kenny’s family before finding him?
  • What is she to Euna/Unity — mentor, old colleague, someone Euna owed a favor?
  • Is she the same “Cassandra ‘Case Mod’ Modeen” referenced elsewhere, using an assumed identity?

Appearances

  • Not yet appeared in-session — background established via life path material provided outside of play
