Growing up, the lackey learned the only way to survive was to survive under the strong. Constantly looking for a leader to shelter you, you sought out the strongest, most intimidating individual and constantly curried favor with them in return for protection. These types of individuals more often than not leaned towards the darker side of the law. During the course of these events, you picked up a few skills along the way to ensure your survival whilst doing questionable things. Flattery was served breakfast, lunch and dinner.
- Skill Proficiencies: Deception, Insight
- Tool Proficiencies: Thieves tools, one type of artisan’s tools
- Equipment: Set of dark common clothes, a crowbar, a set of artisan’s tools (one that matches the artisan's tools you chose), a handmade miniature figurine (memorabilia), and a belt pouch containing 10 gp
Your experience in dealing with the law and lawbreakers gives you a feel for local laws and criminals. You can easily find the local outpost of the watch or a similar organization, and just as easily pick out the dens of criminal activity in a community, although you're more likely to be welcome in the latter locations rather than the former.
Suggested Characteristics
Lackeys are often easily intimidated, but have a singular mind towards survival. They are willing to do anything to escape harm, and are morally neutral. As long as they are fine, nothing else matters. Lackeys dream of the day they no longer need to be one, and are able to be free and safe on their own without any overarching figure.
