You spent your life in hiding and on the roads. Stealing from nobles and commoners alike is second nature to you. You have a foothold in every watering hole and low place for miles around your base, you learned to prey on unfortunates who were in the market for a comforting lie or two—perhaps a shiny (but worthless) trinket, or a disguise. You've gotten your hands on everything from junk worth coppers to fancy carriages stocked with supplies - and the nobles they belong to. You're always down for a good hijacking or a little light armed robbery. Through all this you never lost your will to help others less fortunate than your marks, feeding refugees and urchins and helping direct them to safety through your connections when possible.

Contacts
Friends in low places - you have connections to the vast underground. Whether it's the Thieves Guild, local smugglers, fences, forgers, pirates, gambling hall book makers, or corrupt caravan masters you've seen and dealt with it all. You can call on or seek out your connections to these vast networks of criminals and charlatans and acquire useful information, find safe passage or a safe hideout or call in a favour in need.
