Grey Fox (Deception/Stealth): The grey man gathers intelligence and carries out assassinations without anyone knowing who he is or that he was there. The secret to not standing out is hidden herein. In order to stay off the radar of others, whether you’re an undercover secret agent or just trying to get through a bad neighborhood, you need to be the person who doesn’t trigger anything in the thought process of others. We call that person the Gray Fox. He is invisible. It’s not that he doesn’t exist or interact with people though. He can walk through a crowd, take note of everything he wants, complete his mission or walk through an area and be out without anyone remembering he was there. He doesn’t just wear clothes that match what everyone else is wearing; he wears clothes no one will take note of. He doesn’t just do things to fit his natural surroundings; he does things that don’t cause your mind to take notice. He had no color, no smell, no texture, and no emotion. He wasn’t there.

 

You are trained in 4 additional languages.

Chose Deception or Stealth. Gain advantage on one roll per day of the chosen skill.

 

History:

Began at a small table of people who saw a richer future, at the beginning of the second age, from there it changed into the huge multifaceted secret organization it is today.

 

Relation with other Guilds:

Indispensable relationship with the assassin’s guild, their hideout locations are shared among the two guilds except for secret ones of both guilds. Assassins have many supply stations spread around and share that in exchange for information gathered by expert thieves. This relationship is made apparent by the time the recruit has reached “Burglar.”

 

Membership to this order is a privilege and thus has some rules:

Do not draw attention to the guild, or its members.

Do not publicly announce your Job.

Do not kill if you can help it, dead don’t pay.

Jail-time is inevitable, if you are patient, help will find you.

If you should be killed mid-job, your killer will be contracted via the assassin’s guild.
