Specific Modifiers can cause the PDNPC to function in the traditional Ally, Contact and Patron roles apart from story necessity. Having to restrict high value PDNPC's to the roles of Patron and/or Contact becomes a campaign feature (and point saving Limitation).

You'd need to allow for organizational Patrons (which IME are much more common than individuals), which might cause weird interactions. Can you then take an organization as an Ally?
