Cass

"I'm sure honest living has its perks, but it's not half as fun as dishonest living..."

Cass was involved in criminality from a young age, and found herself predisposed to the life due to her thrill-seeking nature. Because of her small size and deft fingers she became an excellent thief, specialising in burglary as a teen, often for hire. In this role she crossed paths with Theopania, then working as a fence for stolen goods. The two quickly built up a rapport, bonding over being young women trying to make their way in a dark and potentially dangerous criminal underworld.

Their relationship developed beyond strictly professional when Theopania discovered Cass’ other proclivity – women. The two sporadically engaged in a dalliance, but both took care to not let their pleasure interfere with their business. Cass operated in this manner for a short while before she was discovered in the bed of a noble girl whose father she had been commissioned to rob. Facing being forced into a convent to atone for her “unnatural disposition”, she fled and sought Theopania out for somewhere to lie low. The fence offered her more than just sanctuary, but somewhere with steady work and a significantly less judgemental environment than English society – a quiet little community in Sherwood Forest…

Opinions on Others
Mages Essel - She seems pretty intense, but she doesn't weird me out as much as the other mages and she lets things slide. Probably one of the better ones to work with. Grogs Aroh Byait - I'm happy calling him "Master Byait" seems to be catching on - maybe now the guy will tell us his actual name. Falko – Brave fella, if unimaginative. No wonder he’s always getting himself hurt. Giles “Old Giles” Cooper - The old bastard can move! I could have a lot of fun steering drunken louts into trying to fight him… Islwyn - Not exactly the life of the party, but he's a damned good shot. I swear he's only really happy when he's up a tree. I should get him a hammock, I bet he'd love me. Lohse - God, she’s pretty. I could listen to her sing all day… and make other noises all night. Maybe next time we’re at the Red Boar I’ll have the guts to see if she’s interested. Oskar - Silk's little minion. I can't help but wonder if he's more of a straight shooter, or he's just not been taught how to nick stuff yet. Oh well, there's plenty of time for that... Silk - Theopania was right - he's a shifty little fucker, but a great laugh. Now there's a man who knows how to enjoy life. Theopania - Talented, driven and reliable, which is rare in our line of work. Trustworthy and fun, too, which is even less so. Shame she's got that weird thing with people forgetting her face, but I guess it must be useful at times.
