Roguish Treasure Hunter

A Love Of History

Your desire to hunt for gaudy treasures and artefacts started from a passion for history. A longing to know of times before the dull existence of the era you live in and a hunger to explore gaudy temples of old and claim the glamourous gifts of yesterday's world. 

Explorer Of Wild Places

 Your hunt for the glorious wealth of civilizations past has led you to a wide variety of natural regions. Your familiarity with nature keeps you an above average understanding of the many things it offers -- as well as its dangers. 

Religion Tells It's Own History

 History isn't the only place where a hunter such as yourself can find clues to old temples, tombs, and treasures. You have dedicated some of your time to the understanding of religion in order to improve your chances of a successful treasure hunt.

Just Enough Guile To Get By

In your career searching for lost artefacts you have encountered many competitors with more power and larger numbers than you and only your natural ability to deceive your enemies and avoid detection have given you the upper hand in the search for glory.
