SPECIAL ABILITIES, POWERS

Glyph is programmed to be able to access and if need be hack most network infrastructures for the purpose of taking control or managing, deleting or copying data. Glyph is also programmed with a light duty tazer that's only really powerful enough to deter the curious. Glyph's primary function however is still info management; he is a copy of the Glyph VI assistant used by the Shadow Broker, the galaxy's preeminent information broker.

NOTABLE ITEMS

The memory unit installed into Beni's omni-tool that allows her to take Glyph out and about.

WEAKNESSES

Glyph is a Virtual Intelligence, rather than an Artificial Intelligence; VIs are more rudimentary and more bound by programming. VIs are also not self-aware. As such, VIs work on mechanical logic and higher or erratic forms of thought can confound him easily. He also takes what is said to him literally. A sufficient EMP will cause Glyph to shut down, possibly jeopardizing recently acquired data.
