Suggested Characteristics

Often well traveled and worldly, those who take up the smuggler’s life are usually acute observers and mental note-takers, with a knack for numbers and a gift for smooth (fast) talk. Their adrenaline-fueled lifestyle of danger, intrigue, and constant vigilance has left more than a few with some “colorful” and noteworthy personality traits.
