The Senator Varric. Expected Activity: Skill Activity. Social Status: Senator (high aristocracy).
Information: Spurius is more of a con man than a politician, in it for his own amusement and fortune, leeching funds, gifts, and entertainments off of everyone he encounters. His goal in any conversation, any venture or opportunity, should always boil down to what's in it for me - subtly, if possible, but now and then he doesn't mind being brazen. Whatever the cost to others, he never foots the bill if he can help it, never commits, defaults on every obligation he can, and enjoys himself immensely. As a Senator, he can act as a power broken for others, cutting deals, arranging votes, providing legal advice - but if he does so, it's because he's getting something even better out of it.
Exclusive Skill: Conversational Deflection. When acting as a middleman, he has the ability to make the most outrageous requirements, costs, or demands sound like the insistence of the other side in a negotiation - as long as the two sides never meet without him being present.
