Headhunter/Characters

Characters
For the purposes of this walkthrough, the Characters are divided into ACN and Criminal sections, but as the plot unfolds, you might find that the lines between "good" and "bad" aren't as clearly-defined as you'd expect...

ACN
The Anti-Crime Network (ACN) is the nation's leading law enforcement agency, with an 83% market share of all crime fighting activity. While it plays a major role in the day-to-day maintenance of law and order, the ACN is primarily targeted against organized crime. This has led its elite force of officers to assume many of the responsibilities of the former FBI and ATF agencies. This force is supplemented by private Headhunters contracted exclusively to track and capture wanted felons. LEILA is responsible for regulating the activities of these headhunteres, providing them with training and equipment. It also providesd access to its intelligence database. A private organization appointed by government, the ACN is headed by a Director accountable to the President. Operational Chiefs with jurisdiction over Field Officers, Headhunters Intelligence and other areas report to the Director. (Taken from the Headhunter manual)

If he lives long enough, he may uncover the truth of what happened to himself along the way&hellip; (Taken from the Headhunter manual)

Angela Stern

Hiring Jack to find him, she forms a partnership that leads them both into danger&hellip; (Taken from the Headhunter manual)
