Johnny Spinrad
Infamous playboy and spearhead of Spinrad Industries, which became the newest member of the Big Ten after a merger with Global Sandstorm. Willing to piss off a dragon -- in fact, notable rival of THE great dragon, Lofwyr.
Johnny Spinrad has always been about one thing and one thing only: Johnny Spinrad. He started out as a wealthy young entrepreneur, son of American starlet Destiny Barraclough and Monégasque Industrialist Diego Spinrad, but became synonymous for the person everyone else wants to be. Now at the head of an AAA corporation, Johnny has everything he ever wanted. Except one thing. In the 2050s, Johnny nudged Lofwyr out of a contract to rebuild New Monaco. Dragons don’t forgive, so Lofwyr spearheaded the charge to get Spinrad Industries kicked out of France for uninformed experimentation on people at one of his subsidiaries. Johnny’s finances, social life, and plans for the future were set back decades. Not wanting to let Johnny forget his sins, Lofwyr also is behind the plot that ended Spinrad’s engagement to Princess Caroline of Britain back in 2068 by manipulating events so that Claudia Romanov’s daughter was revealed as Johnny’s. Since then, Spinrad has survived assassination attempts, worked the Grand Tour, built his company up, merged with Global Sandstorm, and married his wife Gabrielle. He’s had leónization treatments a-plenty and is stuffed with cutting-edge cyberware, so he’s also still in peak shape. All that is left is to get his revenge on Lofwyr. He has made alliances with all of Saeder-Krupp’s enemies, and most recently, he extracted his daughter, Anastasia, from the German S-K boarding school she attended. Johnny is riding high on all of his big wins lately. He is branching out into shifting American markets in the next few years and making plans to aggressively push into traditionally Saeder-Krupp-dominated markets in Europe as well. He has even spent all of 2080 partying with Gabby and Anastasia on the Grand Tour, a sort of victory lap for being the most desirable man in the world. All the world’s his oyster … and it seems being eaten by Johnny Spinrad isn’t bothersome to most people.
