Secret Agent
The charming Half-elf schmoozes through the party, buttering up the local lords with words of praise as she gathers information for her mission.
The Pretty Human seduces a local merchant, only to eliminate him and his guards in one fell swoop.
The Half-orc thinkers away at her gadgets, making items to aid her escape from the horde of guards rushing to the aid of the slain lord.
Mission Focused
The Secret agent is no Rogue. Where the rogue seeks to sneakily attack and kill their prey, a secret agent focuses on acquiring their goal. They use their wit, their words, they charm to gain what they want. The Spoken word is a much stronger tool than the sharp blade. Once the Secret Agent achieves their goal nothing stops them from escaping.
