Spy

Spies use charm and deception to veil their true intentions. If forced into combat, they seek to end such conflicts quietly and decisively.
Spies
Infiltrators and Informants
- Habitat. Any
- Treasure. Implements, Individual
Spies gather information and disseminate lies, manipulating people to gain the results the spies’ patrons desire. They’re trained to manipulate, infiltrate, and—when necessary—escape in a hurry. Many adopt disguises, aliases, or code names to maintain anonymity. Roll on or choose a result from the Spy Personas table to inspire a spy’s disguise.
