You have been recruited by the secret organization of Gith who seek to reunify their people. Your loyalty has been tested and your fealty sworn to uphold this ideal while working in the shadows of the Githyanki or Githzerai cities to bring about peace. You’re far closer than most to the other side from where you are stationed and you report to a hidden hierarchy that runs beneath the social strata of the two societies. It is a world of murder, theft, and violence that pervades the underbelly of these two split civilizations. You have survived up to this point by keeping a low profile and blending in, so that you can successfully gather information and disseminate counter-propaganda to select contacts which is anathema to the pervading cultural sentiments coming from the seats of power. Your training in deception and disguise apart from your chosen class or profession has been a life saving skill set.
- Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Stealth

- Languages: Thieve's Cant, Gith, can read and write both forms of Tir'su

Feature: Criminal Contact
You have a reliable and trustworthy contact in the hierarchy of the Sha'sal Khou network who acts as your liaison to a cell of other espionage agents. You know how to get messages to and from your contact, even over great distances; specifically, you know of local messengers, corrupt merchants, or less loyal servants who can deliver coded messages for you.
Suggested Characteristics
There is a sense of tight knit honor among those recruited to serve theSha'sal Khou. All have been vetted by their recruiter prior to indoctrination and training to ensure that the fanatical dogmas of either group did not take hold. Agents of the Sha'sal Khou rarely show any respect for law or authority in private but will publicly perform the role of a model citizen in order to maintain their cover.
