Bull in 2056
Bull in 2074
William “Bull” MacCallister is an ork decker, Shadowtalker on Shadowland, SysOp of Jackpoint, and a legendary shadowrunner. He has the title of “the Best Ork Decker You Never Met.” He is the star of a number of Matrix games loosely inspired by several runs in which he participated in.
History[]
Born in 2032 in Chicago as a human. In 2039 he lost his parents in the bombing of Sears Tower, in which he was also falsely presumed to be a victim of. He grew up as a SINless orphan in the Noose and goblinized a few years later.
Bull started to run the shadows with an Amerind Coyote shaman named Johnny 99 in Chicago. After his first year of entering the Shadows, in the early 2050’s he slighted Kyle Morgan by making it appear Morgan had hacked an Aztechnology account.[1] Morgan put Bull into an elaborate death trap and recorded his escape. Once the video was released on to the Matrix it jump started Bull’s Shadowrunning career. A year later, a number of Matrix games started to come out which parodied a number of run’s Bull was involved in.
In 2055 Bull, Johnny 99 and Bull’s family were trapped within the Chicago Containment Zone for a year. Presumably around this time is when he had his two children Rebecca and William Jr, twins. He made a deal with Harlequin to get himself and his family out of the CZ, but in return Johnny 99 was sacrificed to slow the approach of the horrors[2].
In 2056 he led a team of runners against an Ares’ building in Hong Kong.
He retired in 2063 (Or sometime shortly after Year of the Comet) and was able to avoid the Matrix Crash 2.0 entirely.
In 2073 Rebecca MacCallister is murdered by the Copycat Killer, who was copying the Mayan Cutter in the Ork Underground. Because of Rebecca’s research and support seeing the Ork Underground becoming a district of Seattle, Bull joined Project Freedom to see her wishes come true in her memory. Bull hired some Shadowrunners to capture the killer and his wife shot the killer dead.
