You’re a low-level career politician in a high-level position in a harsh, unforgiving landscape. You’ve managed to eke out a comfortable existence here, and you like it that way. Under the circumstances, you’re doing well at managing the people’s needs versus what Erebus wants, but a good thing can only last so long. It doesn’t take a skilled political analyst to tell that there’s tension here, and that something’s going to give somewhere if things continue on as they are. The people will only handle so much abuse before they try anything bolder and more violent, and you know they don’t have the resources to stand against Erebus for long at all.
You’ve decided that your best bet right now, everyone’s best bet, is for you to simply pretend like nothing at all is going on, within reason. As far as Erebus is concerned, you don’t know anything about any heists that might be going on--and you don’t. If anyone comes and approaches you about it, you cut them right off for plausible deniability. You actually don’t care who wins or who loses here; you just want some sort of status quo to be maintained so you can continue about your comfortable life. If you’ve got to do a little political footwork to keep both sides in the dark, then so be it...so long as neither side approaches you with a hefty enough bribe.
Destiny: Kiss a few babies. Shake a few hands. Get your picture taken at local eateries. Win your next re-election.
Connections:Sheriff - A friend. It's really awkward lying to them on behalf of your constituents;. Cattle Heist Ringleader - Given how popular they are with the townsfolk, you've got no choice but to work with them if you want to be reelected.
Skill: Rubbing Elbows - You know everyone in town, you know just how to talk to everyone in town--or at least, you seem like you do. You’re very good at reading people to the point you know just what to say and when in order to get someone to start to see things from your point of view. You’re good at dealing with new people and making them feel like old friends.
