Czeslaw Romano

Czeslaw Romano is a Recruiter of Lethe and a former Cyberteknik engineer and surgeon.

Background
Czeslaw Romano was fired in disgrace from Cyberteknik after he improperly installed a heart valve for a prominent mayor's daughter, leading to her death a few weeks later when it became dislodged and she bled out on her way to the hospital. He resorted to doing back-alley operations for the uninsured, and was recruited by Lethe a few years later.

Originally, Romano was tasked with operating on Lethe members who lost body parts out on the field. However, he convinced Masters that he could find slaves for them through disabled children. While the Masters originally thought to pass them over for seemingly obvious reasons, Romano mentioned that taking disabled children from their families (to be compensated) and from the streets or orphanages and fixing their disabilities through cybernetics would provide them with stronger, and more loyal slaves. After a test run in Nostra on Mars, Romano was elevated to the role of Recruiter on Mars.

Alexei Santogold was one of the children Romano helped to recruit by giving her cybernetic eyes to cure her blindness.

Unfortunately, Romano has always been a very laid-back man in regards to rules -- even rules from his own organization. Even though Lethe does not operate inside Ares, Romano disregarded this when he went into the city for recruitment. This ended up with several children and police officers dead, and while Romano was able to escape, his transgression got him sent to Lethe prison for several months.

This hotblooded attitude also surfaced later when he burned down the Temple of Asteria in the Dysnomia Ghetto, which also got him sent to Lethe prison. Though he is currently out, he has a lot of eyes on him and pressure for him to do better unless he be kicked out of yet another important job.
