Name/Alias: Cooper
Gender: Male
Age: 32
Appearance: Specialty: Researcher and Analyst: Cooper focuses on researching and analyzing artifacts, people, and locations. Rather than going out and gathering the objects himself, he finds the holes in security there might be, the layout of a location, and what sort of defenses might be put up.
Background: As a young boy, Cooper had a fascination with learning and reading the personalities of others. He read to his heart's content, and enjoyed exploring the back alleys of his home town to find what was hidden. Over time, he grew more adventurous, finding old builder's plans and exploring the underground sewers that held the old ruins the town was built on.
As he grew and became older, he worked for construction companies building new structures, and often times he'd install his own secret rooms that no one had a hope of discovering. But, two years ago, there was an unfortunate incident involving one of Cooper's secret rooms, 20 pounds of lard, a large mastiff and a spoon. Following this incident, there was an investigation of Cooper and his previous plans, and his secret was out. He is now banned from all builder's organisations and construction sites.
And so he turned to thievery to feed himself. He found talking to drunkards in taverns could provide plenty of food (even though they were leftovers) and that with some quick thinking and clever words, he could find the latest news on different buildings and the renovations they were undergoing.
He spent several days closely observing a particularly interesting and high value building, and he planned on robbing it. But, the night of his final observations, he noticed a group of thieves break in themselves. He waited for them to exit, and then followed them. After a tense few minutes of explaining who he was and what he wanted, he was let into the group to help plan out the thieving runs.
