Diplomat
Diplomats are normally functionaries of one of the civilized nations of Talislanta, acting as intermediaries between the various governments. Trained primarily in Cultures and polite society, a good diplomat is also part spy and is always on the look-out for opportunities to improve the lot of their nation.
Diplomats are skilled orators and know how to read a situation and size up an opponent quickly. While the vast majority of Diplomats serve national governments others may be found in the employ of Farad Merchant houses and other mercantile interests across Talislanta.
