Igor
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.
