There are thousands of possible personas, let's consider them and how they might relate to use cases. Each system context will have its own combination of stakeholders.
Personas are useful in the early stages of badge system design. There are myriad interpretations of what personas are and how they work. In order to disambiguate the way they're described here, here is [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persona_%28user_experience%29 the wikipedia interpretation of them] and [http://www.measuringusability.com/blog/personas-ux.php a practicing UX designer's interpretation of them].
