The Mafia Hacker informs the Mafiosi about Meteor City and its residents
Hired by the Mafia, the hacker is asked to find any information on the "dead" Troupe members following their attack on the Cemetery Building. After six hours of research, he tells two Mafia members that the Troupe members don't exist. He explains that he found nothing about them after checking 60 years' worth of medical, military, and academic records, as well as DNA and family registers (even those of the deceased). The lack of information about them leads him to conclude that they hail from Meteor City. He irks his two handlers by stating that the Spiders simply do not exist before confirming his findings. After recounting the incident involving a vagrant, he discourages the mobsters from seeking retaliation, adding that the Ten Dons would agree with his assessment.[1]

The hacker boasted of being able to find the illegitimate children of a president in three hours. In six, he managed to access the highly secure International Human Databank and look over 60 years' worth of records. He also has some deduction skills and general knowledge, quickly determining that the lack of information on the Spiders pointed to them hailing from Meteor City.[1]
