The Hacker has practicly replaced the Thief in this day and age. They use many skills dealing with computers. They are able to Hack into many systems, build computers,software, and hardware, aswell as create their own virus and shield programs. These skills come from hundreds of thousands of hours of studying the way a computer works and interacts with programs on the Grid. The world of the Hacker is quite complex and teadious, often the Hackers spends days and even weeks without leaving their homes. They are not known for their ability to fight but rather their electronic skills, but a Hacker of course does know how to defend himself if the time should come.
