Possessions : a large web of medical and criminal contacts
about 2.4 BCr, in laundered accounts
several regal estates on Menorb, Efate, Whanga, Ruie and Regina
(many bought from recently impoverished nobles)
his very own island chain on Whanga
illegal biotech and prostitution operations throughout Regina
subsector
several small legitimate biotech firms on Efate
Family: most of his family is involved in his operations in one way or
another, and form the nucleous of his command structure. The
people that he really trusts, though, are his three clones.
Equipped with regularily updated copies of his personality, they
are his top aides, and reside on Efate, Menorb, and Regina. He
himself prefers to remain on Whanga.
Apperance: Heavy-set, but with hard muscle underneath the flab.
Red-brown skin tone, crew-cut brown hair, and hazel eyes are set
on a brick of a head. Dresses *very* well, but still looks
and moves like a thug.
Personality: The strong, silent type. Carefully plans every move, then
does whatever it takes to see it through. Has the ability to
see "The big picture", and how to profit from it. He's
also rather lucky (a +3 on every difficult or crucial
task), which comes in handy in his business.
History: Always hungered to `make it big', and get out of his cronically
depressed megalopolis. Dimling started out as a small-time organ
dealer, arranging the illegal sale of blood and kidneys.
Eventually took over the business: developed and extended "Organ
harvesting" to target the ill, street people and especially
untended children (who's organs go for the highest prices on
the black market).
After branching into less-than-reputable hospitals, he's now
believed to operate a "medical testing centre" - with sentients
as testing subjects - somewhere in Uthe/Gvurrdon: the
subsector govenour's Justice Commission: Syndicate Branch
suspect's Orsesokhin (Uthe: Gvurrdon/2323 A000874-F G Cx Na As
210 Ve M5 V M2 II), the capital of the coreward Thonengling Raghz
("Thoengling Empire" in the local Vargr dialect), as the most
likely site.
Currently, Mr. Dimling is attempting to recify his only noticable
failure: his every attempt to take over Whanga for his own
purposes has been repeatedly countered by the local
democartically-elected Resident (the local nobility he has in his
pocket): he came close to staging a favourable coup, but something
went wrong, and he had to back off or face the wrath of the Regent
himself (who just happens to be subsector Duke, and is not
pleased with how Dimling corrupted the local Nobility)

Organisation: The Ranger Corporation is a scout/exploration company, the
largest now operating in the Spinward Marches. Currently has 20 scouts,
and one scout tender. Based on Mora/Mora/Spinward Marches.
Appearance: a gentle, nondescript man in his mid-forties. Of clear
Solomani caucasian/oriental decent, with brown wavy hair growing gray
on his temples. Bates dresses neatly and comfortably.
Personality & History: Usually quiet and unassuming, Mr. Bates is an
unlikely scout: he didn't even leave his home system till the age of 41.
However, after he retired he decided to "tour a bit of hte Regency" and
signed on with Ranger Corp. as a scout.
His willingness to help, natural shyness and extreme skill in piloting
endeared Bated to the crew of the Second Guess.
While docked at one of Ruie's downports the crew decided to hit the bars,
after trying unsuccessfuly to get Bates to join them. They never returned.
The local police has not found a trace of them in two weeks of searching,
and suspect that they have left the planet. Bates has contingency order
to return to Mora, and is already looking for a crew to take the Second
Guess home. However, he would love to make one last effort to find his
shipmates.
