I'm interested in this, as well. I share the same sentiments of not knowing the source material lore (Though I'm [i]slightly[/i] familiar with the Storyteller system) but I think your write-up set the themes pretty well.

For sure. If this is a story of street-level stuff at the beginning I'm thinking of maybe a conman (maybe even former conman); I don't suppose there's a sort of "speak with the dead" style of power?

A conman could work fine, though I would ask that you flesh out the concept just a bit more. 

Speak with the Dead, no, but there are hypnotic/compelling powers that your character could have.
