Known History:
Born SINless in Chicago in 2047 Christoph Grimson stood out, even more than orcs normally do. Preferring more intellectual pursuits rather than brawling caused him trouble as an orc. It wasn't that he was disdainful of the budding orc culture, its that he was already an outsider being an albino, so he often retreated into the net and electronics.
He was 8 years old when when the the bug spirits where released from the underground hive. He wound up on the wrong side of the CZ and spent the next several years battling for his life.
Christoph was11 when the CZ was lifted, he managed to get out into the rest of Chicago. In a fashion typical to orcs he was maturing faster than a human, his scraps in the CZ teaching him how to fight as his own keen mind and eye for detail making him unusually intellectual for an orc. It didn't take long for his talents to get picked up by gangs, even if they did treat him as a freak.
This lasted for another six years until at 17 Christoph was offered a job bigger than the gangs he'd been working for. He was just jacking out of one of the building's security subsystems when Crash 2.0 hits, the primary security node is completely corrupted, causing a total collapse of building security letting his team infiltrate with ease. Not questioning their luck the team roll with it until they find out what's going on, the simple luck of timing giving Christoph his street name, Snow Crash.
With the cash from the run, and the connections of the fixer, Snow Crash manages to leave Chicago behind and moves to Seattle where he settles into Touristville of Redmond Barrens. Once he settles in he starts steadily working in the shadows, although never having a formal education a long running and often loosing battle with insomnia leads to him spending nights trawling the net keeping tabs on the politics of corps and gangs and even reports on activities of major crime syndicates... when he didn't just retreat completely from the world into the amped up visions of BTL chips.
As the world moved into the 2070s Snow Crash hit his stride, the wireless world of the new Matrix brought together his hacking skills and combat abilities. An influx of jobs allowed him to reach out to a black market cybertech and over the next few years started installing several cybernetic systems to improve his combat abilities and with the help of some big runs even managed to scrape together for extremely expensive neural enhancements.
2075 proved a tumultuous year however; several high profile runs left Snow Crash on the run and needing to lay low, something not easy for an orc, much less an albino orc with the level of augmentations he'd received. He'd hidden out with a circus troop with a monochrome theme, his albino looks and white clothing blending in in a way he almost never does. He'd intended to keep his head down and remain out of trouble... but when a large pack of feral ghouls was set upon the troop and the neo-tribals they where sheltering with Snow Crash was unable to leave things lie and joined in on the fray.
His cover blown Snow Crash calls in some favors and flees the country and into anarchist controlled East Berlin. In the past year he has rapidly made a name for himself as a notable figure in the East Berlin shadows.
