You get the word around that you need a spy/detective and 3 show up:
1. City Rat (human) with super powers of APS: Shadow & Frequency Absorbtion
2. Super-spy, master psionic (Toke Tuul from AU)
3. Bounty Hunter, (Auto-G)
they're all 3rd to 5th level and have the same pay.
I go with the Auto-G Bounty Hunter.
Who would you hire and why ?
It is always a bad thing when political matters are allowed to affect the planning of operations (Field Marshal Erwin Rommel, 1943)

The City-Rat seems to be the kind of person, who can do a
bunch of things in a city, including hiring the other two characters
if needed.
So, I would bet on him, provided he can persuade me about
his loyality.

But still, one of the most basic rules for survival on any planet is never to upset someone wearing black leather - This is why protesters against the wearing of animal skins by humans unaccountably fail to throw their paint over Hell's Angels.

All of the above.
Variety is the spice of life, and would all have their place in my intel division.

The city rat. I would think they would have their ear to the ground more often than the spies. My thinking is the spies are paid to go for specific info and therefor may not be too savvy about local events. On the other hand, to me, City Rats are always looking for opportunities to exploit and this could work to my advantage the best.

Hmm after rereading the original post I have to agree that the City Rat would have to be the one I would hire. Because in the urban jungle, they are the natives with their urban sources.
"Your Grace," she said, "I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled or dead?"
"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."
"As you will it, your Grace."

Of course, if an auto-g eats one, he/ she becomes the same...

But as for my question at the begining. Why? What are you looking for Gadrin? I'm just curious as to why. Some sort of story plot you are working on?
"Your Grace," she said, "I have only one question. Do you wish this man crippled or dead?"
"My Lady," the protector of Grayson told his Champion, "I do not wish him to leave this chamber alive."
