Noidu

Noidu is one of patrons at the Shining Pearl. Not much is known about him before the player interacts with him. According to Punflen, he's got a lot of krats, only spending them on drinks, meals and occasionally willing girls for more private activities. He has actually come to Taodal to assassinate someone, but his brain-wired cybernetics were hacked by someone unknown and, until the player resets them, he stays in a dormant zombie-like state.

Player interactions
When the player approaches him, he seems to be completely ignoring them. This turns out to not be exactly intentional as even when he's invited for sex, he acts more or less like a zombie. Of interest are the covered cybernetics on his arm, noticeable with Intelligence 6. They can be unlocked using a key found on him - acquired either with Agility 8 right in the main dining hall or from his belongings after sex.

Here, the player can find several components, one of which is sending out a distress message. To help Noidu, the player needs to first remove the red flashing component, use the port key on it, push the reset button and then resocket the component again. At this point, Noidu wakes up. He's very confused as he has no idea what happened, why he is in a small village like Taodal, his logs are wiped, and is mildly suspicious of the player for causing it; he's thankful for them helping him, though.

The only possible interaction at this point is sex, which Noidu is very blunt about. He is down for it whenever with whoever, but is not known for being gentle. If the player has had sex with him prior to resetting him, he remembers them and even asks them for a re-enactment.

Details
The cybernetics he has implanted in his arm and that lead to his brain are mostly used for weapons, specifically a Preyor pike that creates a sheath of energy around it. He mostly uses it for intimidation, as the sound of it is usually enough for his enemies to surrender. The augmentations also work as a possible interface with computer systems.

Even though Noidu is quiet and somewhat harsh, he doesn't seem to be of lower intellect, as seen when the player asks him about his species, which he prefers to refer to as "shape": "Are we not all the same outside our morphology? We speak, think, laugh and cry all the same. If our biology is the only thing that separates us, wouldn't it be gentler to call it a 'shape'? Even if our shapes do affect our minds, we should still show the same compassion and understanding we show to everybody else. If it means keeping up an illusory parity, I am fine with it."
