Knowing when to draw the line is difficult; if the PC is giving up points for someone (or something) or it is going to be recurring, that seems like a good reason to flesh something or someone out and in this case, a Contact is both.

However, Allies are purchased based on their character point total because they're going to be right there using their full abilities on your behalf. A Contact can be a literal god, with thousands of points, but all it does on your behalf is give you the occasional scrap of information, or do you a tiny favour.
