Name: Aphrodite Reed
Alias(es): Madame A
Gender: Female
Age: A lady never tells and a gentleman never asks.
Status: Owner of the Aphrodite Arms, Informant
Rank: #4 on the top 100 riches people in the solar system
Type: Psychic
Ethnicity: Chinese/English
Height: 5' 7"
Weight: People have died trying to recover this information.
Hair: Straight, black, and down to her back. Style varies wildly.
Eyes: Very dark brown.
Physical Description: Madame A looks like sex appeal personified. She was broad hips, a narrow waist, and a bust so incredible it cannot possibly be real.
Talents and Skills: A superb businesswoman, capable of, almost literally, selling freezers to Europa. She has a lot of inter-personal charisma and can seduce pretty much anyone. Madame A also has an eidetic memory--she developed this skill in order to avoid, ever, having a paper trail on her second job.
Powers: Madame A has the power of suggestion. That is, with her psychic abilities, she can make pretty much anything seem like a good idea. No one knows she has this power--it is her best kept secret, which says a lot.
Character History: If half the rumors are to be believed, there is nothing and no one Madame A has not done at least once.
The truth is a bit complicated. Most sources agree that she was born to money, and most also agree that she acquired her current business at Aphrodite Arms via one of her parents' business deals. How it became the highest grossing hotel/brothel/casino in the Solar System makes even the most die-hard experts on Madame A scratch their heads and say, "she's just that good."
The bulk of her money, however, comes from her business of selling information. A lot of people come to her establishment, sometimes very powerful people with things they do not want known. She sells this information to others, usually for even more information or gratuitous amounts of cash. So many people are indebted to her, and convinced that her death would reveal everything, that she has essentially become above the law--any law. And she knows it, though she is nothing if not careful, realizing fully that if she pushes it too far, a few might be willing to take the risk.
She's very good friends with Captain Hart, though neither will explain when this friendship formed or if it involves "benefits" or not.
Equipment: Madame A has a pair of psychic reading blocking nodes implanted in her brain. This makes it impossible to read her mind--the open reason is fort her clients' security. The actual one is so that no other psychic notices her...gift. She is also guarded by many tiny, usually unseen security devices, and has an unerringly loyal security detail around her at all times, quite often incognito.
Vehicles: She has a small fleet of state of the art and vintage (and state of the art that look vintage) of vehicles to chose from.
