After your initiation into the Blind Bandit Clan, you are granted a gift. A White mask that destroys your eyes but dramatically improves your sight differently.
Your eyes are pale and the white mask is fused to your face.
White mask, Thieves' tools
Criminal Contact:
You have a reliable and trustworthy contact who acts as your liaison to a network of other criminals. You know how to get messages to and from your contact, even over great distances; specifically, you know the local messengers, corrupt caravan masters, and seedy sailors who can deliver messages for you.
"Sightless"
"All believe we are blind and we ensure that we upkeep that belief. Our eyes grow pale as the blind and past a distance, we are hindered. But anything close to us? Oh, we can see far more than most."
True sight in 15ft, but past that is lightly obscured.
The clan is built around masks. Literal or figurative. Some found their life with the mask. Others wanted to lose their old one.
