Lore & Background
Edward Diego is a TriOptimum executive who offers to drop charges against the unnamed hacker protagonist in exchange for hacking SHODAN, the artificial intelligence controlling Citadel Station. Diego secretly plans to steal an experimental mutagenic virus being tested on the station and sell it on the black market as a biological weapon. He promises the hacker a military-grade neural implant. Later, Diego is transformed into a powerful cyborg by SHODAN and is confronted and defeated by the hacker.
Reader's Guide
The player encounters Diego as a cyborg boss. He must be defeated three times: first when the hacker attempts to jettison the virus cultivation chambers, second in the escape pod bay, and finally on the bridge before it is released from the station. The third defeat kills him for good.
