that's the point Cartwright is a don of a bitch with a multiple choice background. His actions will make him. If the players are clever they will discover bits of his past.

This may be an unwanted critique, but in my opinion a mystery isn't particularly interesting if there's no reason to be interested in it. All we know about Cartwright is:
[list]
[*]Name
[*]Male
[*]Forties
[*]Average looking
[*]Can 'kick ass' and is strategic
[/list]
If you want people to be interested in his past there needs to be something that brings players in, a reason to search for that mystery. Players aren't going to be interested in the background of someone they know absolutely nothing about. It would be nice to put out at least a tidbit of information to pique people's interest.
