Character Spotlight #64-Landry Hollifield

Meet Landry Hollifield

Landry Hollifield is a GalBank employee stationed at the bank’s New Atlantis branch in Starfield. Polished, professional, and thoroughly committed to GalBank’s interests, Landry handles delinquent accounts and is responsible for hiring outside help when ordinary collection methods have failed. He recruits the Spacefarer for a series of debt-collection assignments involving clients who have fallen seriously behind on their payments, giving the Spacefarer some freedom in how those debts are resolved.

Landry tends to approach even unpleasant situations with the detached manner of a career banker, viewing them primarily in terms of contracts, liabilities, and the recovery of GalBank’s credits. Despite working for one of the Settled Systems’ most powerful financial institutions, he is generally cordial with the Spacefarer and becomes increasingly appreciative as successful collections are completed. His role provides a glimpse into GalBank’s enormous influence and the less glamorous side of finance in the Settled Systems.
