To qualify to become an Umbral agent, a character must fulfill all of the following criteria. Agents who thirst for power often make deals with dark entities in order to stay one step ahead of their so-called allies, and it is not uncommon for agents to transform themselves into vampires or other types of undead. These minor treacheries are overlooked, or even rewarded, by superiors, so long as they do not interfere with the relative peace and order. Many an agent has fallen to a poisoned dagger from a rival seeking greater power. Umbral agents’ loyalty to their overlords and ideals does not extend to other agents. Regardless of their methods, all serve the will of their dark god with blind devotion. Those acting abroad seek out positions in rival nations’ halls of power. Most agents spend their time hunting down apostates and heretics, seeking to purge the world of inappropriate influences. Some Umbral agents work in the open as diplomats and consuls, others in secret as spies, agitators, and agents provocateur.
