Hildebrand Panza
Overview
A man recorded on Royale Hotel security footage as one of the human cleaning crew who entered Room 2002 after Brianna Melvin failed to leave it, and who spent thirty to forty-five minutes inside before departing. Shackleton Magellan recognised him on sight from a station security scan he had run months earlier — a scan whose military service record came back redacted.
He is one of Daniela Akkermans’s people. Six identified him in his report to Julija Borja as one of the men who accompanied Akkermans through Security Gate 1 during the crew’s first shift in Session 1 — the group who all cleared screening on honorable-discharge Federal Marine papers with service records almost entirely blacked out by the Federal Republic. That makes the cleaning crew that scrubbed the station manager’s suite the same faces the crew watched walk aboard with the Akker Cartel’s commander.
Pia Kadyrov did not recognise the name and agreed to dig into it. What remains open is who employed him for the hotel job, where he is now, and what the crew actually removed from the suite.
Motivations & Secrets
Appearances
- Session 1 (Session 01 - The Ragged Edge of Space) — Present but unrecognised: one of the companions screened alongside Daniela Akkermans at Security Gate 1, all carrying honorable-discharge Federal Marine papers over heavily redacted service records. Identified retroactively by Six in Session 4.
- Session 4 (Session 04 - The Case of the Missing Courtesan) — Identified by Shackleton Magellan from Royale Hotel security footage as a member of the human cleaning crew that scrubbed Room 2002. His name was passed to Pia Kadyrov as one half of an information trade, and Six separately reported to Julija Borja that this was one of the men who arrived with Daniela Akkermans.
