"Cyberpunk: Beginning in 2071" introduces Mercer, a polarizing figure in Night City. Some view him as Night City's true Grim Reaper, others as its most dependable mercenary, willing to take on any corporation for the right price. Conversely, he's also seen as the city's most unreliable merc; if a mission’s elements disgust him, he’ll terminate the contract immediately and may even turn on the client.
Mercer is credited with significantly altering Night City and is considered by many to be the fourth legendary netrunner, following in the footsteps of Rache Bartmoss, Alt Cunningham, and Spider Murphy. Despite these diverse perceptions, Mercer's own philosophy is straightforward: “This world is too filthy. I just want to burn everything that bothers me to ashes.”
Before he can pursue this goal, Mercer faces an immediate challenge: escaping Arasaka’s Netrunner training facility with Lucy. He views this task as relatively simple. His preferred method involves encountering enemies, overclocking his cyberdeck, and then chaining Cyberware Malfunction with Synapse Burnout for an instant kill, a strategy he implies is common for netrunner builds. This narrative is presented as a game, featuring elements of fantasy and action.
