Lawyer[edit]
Lawyers are cunning and sometimes even dirty to get what they want. Always known to get them or others out of bad situations. Manipulating the situation and twisting others words into their favor and convincing many under a twisted truth.
Charismatic Maniac[edit]
A handsome young adult human male presented in a courtroom, chattering happening between the crowd about the recent deaths of two noble men are faced upon his client that has evidence stacked against him, a knife. The judge silences the courtroom and asks the man if he has anything to say in his client's defense. The cunning human smirks and answers him with a yes and explains that if the knife had been his client's fault, would'd they want to check and trace it back to its current owner. The judge asked of that and they have had the knife checked for and it came back to one of the other suspects Turing the case into a winnable argument for the client.
A rough female orc pointing at an attacker in leather armor. Suddenly, a steel caged box with bars encage the creature but not before the lawyer whispers to her bodyguard to turn him in to be tried for attempted murder.
