Diplomat

You understand the art of the deal, and how to come to agreements with even the most hot tempered of tyrants. You carry a noble title, and you may own land, though your line of work keeps you traveling quite extensively. You travel from nation to nation, discussing and coming to agreements with various monarchs or governments on behalf of your own. From where a road could be built, to possible peace treaties to end wars.

Suggested Characteristics

Diplomats are born and raised to a very different lifestyle than most people ever experience, and their personalities reflect that upbringing. A diplomat title comes with a plethora of bonds—responsibilities to country, to other diplomats, to the people entrusted to your care, or even to the title itself. But this responsibility is often a good way to undermine a diplomat.
