The Deaf Man, from the 87th precinct novels of Ed McBain.

Smart, manipulative and absolutely ruthless.

I used him in a Shadowrun Campaign twice. The first time, the pc stumbled over his henchmen and spoiled his caper. The second time, he was out for revenge.

Unfortunately, my players were a bunch of lousy cowards genre savvy and refused to accept the challenge. They gave the information to the cops, fled the city and hid into the deepest hole they could find. So, they were not killed or blamed for the next caper, but their reputation took a nosedive.
