Bernardo Holyoke

General

• Former owner of Five of Cups, a bar in Old Town
• Murdered at age 53
• survived by estranged wife, Jessica Holyoke, 57

• Holyoke had a second identity as a fence for high-tech stolen goods
• One of three people hired by V to steal the cube.
  • "V"
  • "Quercus" - Bernardo Holyoke
  • "Kilo" - Monica Grand
  • "C" - Claire Castille

• It is possible he was killed to help coverup the Theft.

• As of 09-AUG-05, the police have closed the case on Holyoke's murder.
• No useful leads have turned up, and no suspects are now available.
• It is known a coverup is taking place:
  • The Sentinel reported the stolen goods found at Holyoke's bar were merely harmless car parts
  • In reality, Pietro and Kurt suggest the parts are much more bizarre.

Codenames "V", "Q", "K" and "C", were hired to do the Theft. They are tied to the deaths of Fran Mendling, Bernardo Holyoke, Pietro Salk, Monica Grand, Isaac Cymbalisty, Anna Heath --- but someone else got to The Cube first. Who? And Why? "We never held it, It was already gone."
