You have spent your life behind the chair, razor in hand and secrets in earshot. Whether in a bustling city shop, a noble court, or a traveling roadside tent, you learned that people speak freely when they feel safe — especially when trusting someone with a blade at their throat. Your craft requires steady hands, sharp eyes, and an even sharper mind.

Feature: A Chair for Every Story
People are disarmed by your profession. While grooming someone or spending time in social hubs such as taverns, bathhouses, markets, or military camps, you can easily gather rumors and common news. Common folk, guards, servants, and laborers are inclined to speak openly with you, and you can secure modest lodging or meals in exchange for your services.
Unless you have given someone reason to distrust you, most people see you as approachable and nonthreatening.
