Linja

Their actions are usually hidden under the shroud of night, they move silently, with catlike grace, and they are swift and mercyless as death itself. Linjas are assassins or thiefs, silent and deadly warriors, hunters specialized in the most dangerous kind of prey. Their business is the "removal" of "undesirable" individuals, and the covert acquisition of "desirable assets". Linjas plan carefully their hits, but they also have an uncanny talent to improvise and get themselves out of tight spots. They take pride in surgically removing their target, with as little collateral damage as possible. Some of them seek a personal vendetta, others consider themselves the hand of justice, others follow some obscure honor code, but most of them are nothing more than thiefs, or cold blooded mercs, killing for coin, no questions asked.   Special Skill: Poisoncraft, is like Brewery, but without full understanding and restricted only to poisons.
