    Biography

    Polamedes has worked in silicon valley since graduating college early. He works at a security company developing new automated regression and penetration testing algorithms. His general demeanor has made him alienated with those in charge and he doesn't advance much or get a lot of responsibility. His goal is to undermine the tech ruling class and "Free" the internet from them. To do this he will often follow them home, and hack their home networks looking for blackmail and then use that to get them fired anonymously or leak it to the internet. His eventual goal is for a fully decentralized non government or technocracy controlled internet. That is anonymous, free, powerful, and accessible by all. Any attempt to build this to scale in the past has been thwarted by those in power so the only solution is to remove those in power or get enough personal power to build it despite them.

    A tragically ugly child, Polamedes often would be isolated and sought to reading and computers to fill the void. His nose is bulbous, he has constant acne despite best efforts. Hair like a dandelion tuft, one ear bigger then the other, and a monobrow.
