Suggested Characteristics

Spies might seem untrustworthy or two-faced on the surface, and some of them are traitorous to the core. But most have an abundance of hidden, if not redeeming, characteristics. They often show a higher degree of loyalty to their guild/spymaster, knowing that they are never alone because other agents will help them out as much as they can, though, like criminals, they rarely show any respect for law or authority outside of who they are loyal to.
