Operative

You're a spy. Secrets and misinformation are your stock in trade. You skulk in the shadows, infiltrate other guilds, and steal the most precious secrets, whether they're written in locked journals or hidden away in someone's mind. Even you might not be aware of all the reasons behind the missions you carry out. Sometimes a mission's sole purpose is to conceal the motivation behind another strike performed in a different part of the city, or simply to spread fear. As part of your covert work for organization, you maintain a false identity as a member of another guild. You can choose your secondary organization or roll to determine it randomly. This secondary guild membership determines a portion of your starting equipment and is also where most of your contacts come from. You infiltrate your secondary guild to learn its secrets, keep tabs on its activities, or perhaps undermine it from within.

Equipment

An insignia, three small knives, a set of dark-colored common clothes, and the starting equipment of the background described in the background of your secondary guild

Features

Last Payout

You are constantly doing jobs. You start with 50-100 GPs. Work with your DM to determine your last job and the payout and any repercussions.

False Identity

You have more than one identity. The one you wear most of the time makes you appear to be a member of a guild other than your organization. You have documentation, established acquaintances, and disguises that allow you to assume that persona and fit into the secondary guild. Whenever you choose, you can drop this identity and blend into the guildless masses of the city. Consider why you're embedded in the secondary guild. Create a story with your DM, inspired by rolling on the following table or choosing a reason that suits you. 1- My parents belong to this guild, and I let them think I'm following in their footsteps. 2- I've been assigned to track this guild's activities. 3- I've been assigned to get close to an individual in this guild and learn their secrets. 4- I've been assigned to recruit a new spy from the ranks of this guild. 5- I was a member of this guild before my new organization recruited me. 6- I don't like what this guild stands for and want to destroy it from within. 7- I secretly wish I could leave my organization and join this guild, but there is no escaping them. 8- I chose this guild at random or on a lark.
