Summary

Igor is Rick Harrison’s associate and authentication expert, brought in to verify The Potato before the deal could proceed. He authenticated the meteorite fragment using a specialised instrument and by licking it. He handled the $500,000 transaction on behalf of an unnamed mysterious employer — the true buyer behind the sale.

Description

Slightly taller than Sammy Castaneda. Balding. Lazy, bulging eye. Pronounced hunchback. Notable limp. Unusual and memorable appearance. Authentication methods suggest unconventional expertise or perhaps an empowered ability to sense the fragment.

Session 05 Update

Igor met the party at Medieval Times in Las Vegas alongside Rick Harrison for dinner and jousting. During a quiet moment away from the group, Ronnie slipped Igor the spent meteor fragment (provided by Xander) and received in return:

$500,000 cash
A master password — a complex SHA key written on paper that grants root access to all power suits in the program, including the ability to remotely disable any suit’s locking mechanisms

Igor delivered on his earlier promise. The password is not specific to Ronnie’s suit — it is a program-wide master key.

Session 07 Update

Igor returned to Voss Campus to resume his position as the facility’s lead scientist — revealed to be the former lead scientist there. He also resumed his romantic relationship with Brittany; the two announced to Sammy that they were back together, ending Brittany’s involvement with Sammy.

This recontextualizes Igor entirely. Previously known only as a Las Vegas black-market fixer who bought The Potato and sold Ronnie the master password granting root access to all power suits, he is now revealed to be the returning Voss lead scientist. The man who sold Ronnie that program-wide access is the facility’s own senior scientist — a major unresolved security implication.
