Dogen is the crime czar of Glass and his real name and murky origins are known only to himself. He specializes in black market goods and contraband and his customers are found among the high and low. His network is extensive, especially among the more corrupt elements of the Conglomerate, and many a security officer has at one time or another found herself indebted to Dogen.

Black November are equally dependent on him and though Rebecca Thane has vowed to shut his business down once the revolution is complete, she too cannot do without the services provided. Dogen happily plays all sides and it's hard to tell what, if any, his ultimate objective might be. Some claim he's doing it all only for the hell of it, aiding one corporation only to turn his back on them the next day if there's more money to be made. He can always be trusted to get a job done, in that he's never failed, but he shows allegiance to nothing and no-one but himself.
