2225: New Columbia

An old, overweight human male with pale skin, thinning white hair combed back, and sharp blue eyes. He wears expensive but outdated suits with a red tie, often adorned with a lapel pin of the national flag. His face is marked by deep wrinkles and a permanent scowl.

Drood Beste is a domineering and ruthless leader, driven by paranoia and a desire to maintain human supremacy. He is manipulative, charismatic to his followers, and unyielding in his racist and anti-robot stance. Despite his age and corpulence, he commands attention and wields significant political power.

Drood Beste is a powerful and controversial political figure in the cyberpunk world of New Columbia. As the leader of the Citizens United for Nationality Tracing party, he rose to power by exploiting racist conspiracy theories and promoting ethnic cleansing of foreign nationals. An old, fat human, Drood harbors deep-seated hatred against augmented beings, blaming them for the decline of traditional human values, and viewing augmented people as race traitors. His policies have led to widespread fear, protests, and riots, but his influence remains strong among ultra-nationalist factions. There are rumors that he used Dessin Odour's help to steal the election.
