Information broker
An information broker on New Axton
An information broker was a broker that sold information that was generally kept a secret.
In 2381, Carol Freeman, Shaxs and Sam Rutherford went to Mudds, a bar on New Axton in the Pickpockets District to get information from an information broker about the whereabouts of Nick Locarno. The information broker was less than cooperative however. Freeman was under the false impression that the information broker was an alien puppet, but he was actually a living being. But she picked him up, assuming he wasn't, and shook him around, trying to get it to reveal who was controlling him.
Rutherford was able to see with his cybernetic eye that the broker had many internal organs, and he told her he wasn't a puppet. She stopped abusing the broker, nevertheless, the broker was still quite angry, and he decided to sell the information to a bounty hunter instead, just to get even with her. What the information broker was unaware of, was that was her plan all along, as the bounty hunter that entered the bar was actually Andy Billups in disguise. (LD: "The Inner Fight")
