Samuel (Sam) Verner (also known as Twist) is a Seattle shadowrunner, formerly in the employ of Renraku. He is associated with many known names in the shadows, including Dodger, Sally Tsung, and the AI Morgan. He was also an apprentice to Inazo Aneki during his time at Renraku, who was a father figure to him after his parents were killed. His primary motivation was finding his sister, who had Goblinized and been sent to Yomi Island (later he would find that she had turned into a Wendigo). He is known for his “code” of not taking another life, sticking with Narcoject and other non-lethal methods.
