*: Favoured attribute or reaction

Known only as “the Shadow” (for obvious reasons) with the specialty of 
getting past all defences into hopelessly impregnable locations. He 
hires himself out to the highest bidder for assassinations and 
low-profile robberies. His biggest job so far was when he stole an 
incriminating document from a fortress thought (until that time) 
perfectly invulnerable; that document let Shadow’s master gain control 
of a township.

Note: I did not build Shadow by advancements, and have only listed his 
most-used skills. He may have skill in poisons, and can most probably 
throw a knife with at least average ability. This opponent should 
almost never be used for a normal fight, just for when you need someone 
special for poisoning, stealing, or the like.
