Galen Hinge

Galen runs a backstreet cyberware surgery and sells medical supplies. He shares his store with the arms dealer, Khaki Slate.

Appearance
Galen has a look to him that at one time might have been called distinguished and charming, however in recent years he has fallen into exhaustion and limited means, which have effected his physical appearance.

He is has an unkept but relatively short beard, dark mussed hair and eyebrows, and hands that look skilled but often singed or scarred from his work. He is an average height and has intelligent but very tired brown eyes.

History
There are rumors that Galen once belonged to the aristocratic class, tied to the Maori lineage. However this rumor cannot be substantiated as his name does not match any of those families and it is not generally known why nine years ago he appeared in the underground.

In-game appearances

 * Installed new cyberware for Boombox and sold medical supplies to members of The Nova.
 * Was oblivious to Vox Tempest's flirting. Rated his health - Vox was incredibly distressed that he didn't score higher.
 * Called out to Authentic Tavern after Neida Kampf hired him to make a house call in order to stitch up a seriously injured Arno Stern.
 * Vox visited Galen and Khaki and had them create a custom piece of wearable cyberware that he designed, a hacking tool called the Skeleton Key that appears to look like multiple skull rings and silver bangles until it's activated.
 * Arno went to Khaki to purchase a sword. Whilst there, he passed on Vox's invites to the Maelstrom reopening party. Galen had to stop Khaki from eating his.
 * Galen also offered to implant Arno's sword into his arm for him. Arno asked him to provide a health rating, to which Galen dryly remarked whether Arno was asking him to perform his basic job as a doctor.
