You are the person people call when a problem needs to disappear—whether it’s a mess that needs to be cleaned up, a threat that needs to be neutralized, or a situation that demands a delicate touch. Your reputation as a professional is well-earned; you’ve operated in the shadows, handling the dirtiest work with cold efficiency. Whether it’s erasing traces of a crime, executing a hit, or delivering justice in a world that’s often unjust, you’ve seen it all. Now, you bring your unique skill set to bear on whatever challenges lie ahead.
- Skill Proficiencies:
- Perception (You have an eye for detail, noticing things others miss)
- Intimidation (You can command fear and respect when needed)
- Tool Proficiencies:
- Thieves’ tools (For when you need to get in—or out—without a trace)
- Disguise kit (Sometimes it’s better to be someone else)
- Equipment:
- A set of dark, inconspicuous clothing
- A finely crafted, concealed weapon of your choice (such as a dagger, hand crossbow, or garrote)
- A set of thieves’ tools
- A clean, unmarked coin or token that symbolizes your services
- A pouch containing 15 gp
Your experience in dealing with difficult situations has made you a master of covering your tracks. When you take the time to clean up after any questionable activity (such as removing evidence, hiding bodies, or silencing witnesses), you can do so in half the time it would normally take, and you leave behind no obvious traces of your involvement. Additionally, if you spend at least one minute observing a location, you can determine how to most efficiently infiltrate or secure it, gaining advantage on your next Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Perception) check related to that location.
