Infiltrator

You are a double agent, an infiltrator, a national spy and a valued asset to your home government.  You've been sent to infiltrate and blend in to a foreign nation, to gather state secrets and report.  The expectation that this is a long-term embedding and you may never see your home again.  As such, you were provided with significant training to ensure success. 

You are not alone.  This means that you have access to a network of similarly embedded agents.  This gives you contacts in most major cities but it also means that you may, at any time, be asked to do a task for your home and refusal to that task can be very detrimental to your health.

Languages: Your specialized training has given you proficiencies in a single language from three language groups.  Pick one language from each.

• Dwarvish, Gnomish or Halfling
• Elvish, Sylvan or Undercommon
• Giant, Goblin or Orc

Equipment: A decoder ring, a set of dark common clothes including a hood, a set of unremarkable fine clothing and a pouch containing 10 gp
