ENFORCER

High in a corporate tower an enforcer primes the

explosives and checks the weapons of the guards
lying at his feet. He’s ready to destroy the whole
structure, and he’ll kill anyone who gets in the way.
That’s the job, after all.
A Yakuza assassin sharpens her monoblade
katana in anticipation of the killing stroke. Cold
as ice she executes the bratva drug pusher daring
to trespass on Yakuza streets.
The security operative pushes his client to
cover as he scans the nearby buildings for the
sniper. He fires a short burst, taking out the
would-be assassin with the skill of an elite
soldier.
Skilled at defending themselves and pro-
tecting the lives of others, enforcers fill
a much-needed role on the dangerous
streets of San Francisco. Experts in the
art of killing, they focus on the dirty
work of assassination, protection, and
spec-ops.

A LIFE OF VIOLENCE
Enforcers are tough and versatile. Most
enforcers have military and/or law en-
forcement training, and they’ve built on
that training to become highly effective
fighters. Very little action takes place in
the city without involving enforcers. Capa-
ble of fighting with any weapon, these hired
guns have no problem killing those that get
in the way. Corporations hire enforcers by the
hundreds, often recruiting the best from mili-
tary special forces, and those with distinguished
combat careers. Some enforcers focus their
talents on knowing a variety of weapons, operat-
ing effectively as mercenaries and gang members.
Others, like the street samurai, dedicate them-
selves to mastering just one weapon, thus becoming
specialized assassins. Those trained in combat tactics
and security generally work for the corps and the
rich.

Violence is the fashion that never goes out of

style.

 WEAPONS OF PERSONAL
DESTRUCTION
Cyberpunk enforcers are a must for any aspiring
cyberpunk gang. The enforcer’s expertise in weapons
and explosives gives the gang a serious foundation
for mayhem.

Specialized enforcers fill niche roles in elite assas-

sination squads, demolitions, and other delicate ops
as part of corporate or other powerful agencies.

Many enforcers act as foot soldiers in private

armies, while others serve as personal henchmen of
the elite. Whatever their style, an enforcer is a valu-
able weapon in the fight against, or for, injustice.

CREATING AN ENFORCER
When creating an enforcer think about their train-
ing. Where did they receive it? Did they once be-
long to a private military, or were these skills picked
up on the streets in some underground training fa-
cility? Who have they worked for in the past? Have
they ever been double-crossed? Who, if anyone,
saved their life from a bad situation? Why did they
choose the life and profession they have? Are they
hoping to make a difference in the world, or are they
just here for easy money and all of the luxuries it
affords?
