Physical Description: Pietro is a bit like any elf you ever seem. Even though SURGE affected him, fortunatelly it didn't left many visible marks, except for his eyes that are now silver like globes (the chromatic aberration they produce is in part responsible for his nickname Fractal) and his silver hair, which presents a distinct metallic flash. Usually he keeps his eyes hidden behind his googles. He keeps his unusual hair long, so he can use it in a large variety of styles. What suits him more is to make a braid at the back. Even though it's a little strange it does not qualify him as a freak. Most people can point at him and say he is a Changeling (no artificial hair would be so strange and yet so natural), but he is lucky in that it didn't turned him into any inconceivable lifeform. What suits him more is to make a braid at the back. Usually, he wears leather pants, boots and leather overcoats (with or without his trademark red silk shirt), but when a situation asks for a more formal meeting, he looks really good in a suit.
Personality/background: Even before SURGE manifested, the elf guy was always an inspired artist. More, he was an digital artist with an ideal: to provide everyone with an aesthetic experience. He thinks society is truly stagnant, and people need to awaken. The way for them to learn to feel again is by having an artistic revelation, so he took the mission in his capable hands. He works as a guerrilla digital artist: he creates elaborated forms and AR animations and install them in unusual places (by hacking a system or by leaving an RFID tag at the place he wants his work to be). He considers his doing an humanitarian mission, and is not know because he always sign his deeds in a different name (he does not want recognization... or at least, that's what he says).
Pietro is something of an hedonist (how can one provide other with aesthetic experience with his life is not complete aesthetic, he questions), and likes to live well. He has an easy time among people (specially after he became even more Fae-like after he suffered from a SURGE outbreak) and know how to deal with them. It was just too obvious for him that being a negotiator among shadowrunners would be a good idea for him to raise funds to finance his artwork.
By 2069, Fractal started renting a somewhat luxurious apartment with a friend, the tattooist Damien Blake, AKA the Inkling. At first, he divided the place as a mean to pay for it, but they both discover they can both benefit from that friendship: the patterns Pietro designs are often used by Damien.
Fractal also has a soft spot for cats, and raises one in his leisure time (which is almost the whole of it).
The history so far:
Trash the Body Electric: On the beggining of 2070's May, Fractal was called for a job with a completely unknow and recently assembled team. Thge group needed to, by all means necessary, stop the production of an industrial plant on Bow Mar, so that it's value would dive really low and it would be impossible for the then current owners to keeo it. The job was more than succesful, it was masterfully done (all the objectives of the job were accomplished without anyone even catching a glimpse of them working, no one died and almost no one was hurt, the team raised it's profit rate by stealing some interesting resources, and Fractal could implant a really remarkable piece of art on the whole affair), and the sinergy of the team of 'runners was what made it possible. Even though he couldn't work with this guys on their next run, he knew they were the team he wanted to belong.
Twist and Insult: After a week or so, he was contacted by the same team (Omar, the ork rigger from Lagos; Sam, a somewhat pacifist street-samurai who knows his way with explosives; and Ryker, the ork mage who keeps it mostly to himself; also, integrating the team was Mouse, a boy gifted in knowing his way around the 'trix without a need for external equipment) in order for them to smuggle some guns for the Aurora Vory. When the simple job was done, they were hired to convince a street gang to join the Russians, which they accomplished to do, saving an undercover Lone Star in the way and providing some help for a love couple to free themselves from their "family fights" situation and ride the train to the sunset (also, Fractal had a mental crashdown of sorts, but managed to fight it and win, becoming a little more confident and assured that he makes the person he wants to be). They gained the Vory respect, and by the end of the month, the team is a real group, even though the mage left them to pursue his own road.

Contacts| Contact | | C/L |
| Ramón "Quase-Nada" Madruga (Fixer) | Connections 4/ Loyalty 3 | The latino dwarf specializes himself in making ends meet, for a reasonable price. As the saying go, being a fixer, he lives by his contacts. No he does not die by his contacts, since that would make him a lousy fixer. He does not work with the wrong people, and even the ones with potential may have a difficult time to get in his good side. This dwarf prefers to work from a secure point, and you just get one of these choosing well who you work with. |
| Thomas "Thorn" Cain (Taxi Driver) | Connection 2/ Loyalty 1 | Thorn lives his life as a cabbie at Denver, and in the shadows people says he can really turn your life a little easier when you need to cross some of the boundaries: the man is an specialist in transportation inside in Denver, and he knows some coyotes who work on the borders. He is also a good source of Denver streets gossip, if you have the patience to filtrate it from his cheap driver seat philosophy. |
| Damien "Inkling" Blake (Tattooist Roommate) | Connections 2/ Loyalty 1 | Fractal's roommate is not what most would call a resourceful man, but he listen what's been going on in the art and style scene of the city and know some nice things. Sum it with the fact he is quite an enjoyable guy and you will come to the conclusion it's worth having him around. |
| Nikolai Kirillov (Aurora Warrens Vor) | Connections 4/ Loyalty 1 | A Russian human male, prejudiced against non-Russians, Nikolai is a brute man for whon Fractal's team has worked on ocassion; he can be of assistance in providing information on Vory activities, and with any extra-legal activities in the Warrens. |
