Sample Characters
Highwayman
A Highwayman is someone who secretly possess the skills of a professional thief. Many Highwaymen are trained by covert agencies and secret societies. Common thievery is below most Highwaymen; instead they are confidentially employed by the Kingdoms to work as their operatives - typically working under the cover of a mundane title. For obvious reasons, no one ever announces that they are a highwayman.
