You were once a distinguished informant for the shieldmarshals, working deep undercover to infiltrate gangs of bootleggers and assassins. Then, one day, you discovered that the records of your service had all been completely destroyed. In an instant, you were no longer an elite spy impersonating a criminal—you were just a plain criminal.
Now, not a trace remains of your work for the city. Not only is it as though you were never a shieldmarshal at all, but you’ve got a rap sheet implicating you as a key member in the criminal organizations you spent your career infiltrating. Luckily, no one could take away the skills you learned from your deep-cover missions, and your new notoriety has earned you quite a reputation among Alkenstar’s criminal elite. Through your underworld connections, you’ve narrowed your suspicions to an unknown powerful aristocrat in the Capital District, who orchestrated your downfall. You’d uncovered something in your investigations—something they wanted buried forever. Rather than risk exposure, they erased your record and rewrote you into the annals of crime. Now the only way to learn the truth—and clear your name—is to strike back at the salons and drawing rooms where your fate was decided with a quill and a whisper.
