Key Personalities

Eric Danmund

Eric Danmund is the CEO running Diamond Real Estate. His collaboration with City Administration gained Diamond control over a great majority of Neocron's real estate. An eccentric soul, tales of his exploits read like the worst kind of fiction. Of course, it is all dismissed as “competitor's slander” by the company speakers.

Cecil Stone

Former male model Cecil Stone is the SysAdmin at Diamond Real Estate. He dazzled Danmund with his knowledge, though some people say he is not half as good as he pretends to be.

History

In 2746 President Reza decides to turn the former governmental “Department for Real Estate Allocation” into a private company, to increase its effectiveness which is badly needed since the Great Trek turns the real estate market into one chaotic mess. As a result Diamond Real Estate begins to turn enormous profits almost instantly. Under the leadership of Eric Danmund, Diamond flourishes and widens its focus to more than just simple real estate. A new partnership with Tangent Technologies Inc will be developing a new, integrated and more transparent approach to home security.

Rumours

Citizens generally hold Diamond in high regard because of their excellent services. However, the rumours that are floating around about Eric Danmund's personal life could fill several high capacity DataCubes. Those tales contain stories about secret visits in very “special” Tsunami Syndicate establishments, and questionable social events in private clubs, among other things. Popular among promiscuous citizens is the sarcastic quip: “Don't do anything Eric wouldn't do”.

In addition, there seem to be floating around some nasty rumors about Danmund's System Administrator, Cecil Stone. It is rumored that he definitely did not get into his current positions by his qualifications (or lack thereof), but rather by more sinister means. Furthermore, some people try to link him to one of Neocron's criminal organizations.
