In the shadowy world of rogues, names are tools as important as lockpicks. A rogue's name might change with each job, each city, or each phase of their career. Street thieves often earn nicknames from their first big score or notable failure. Assassins might use names that reference death or silence, while con artists prefer trustworthy-sounding aliases. In thieves' guilds, members receive guild names that indicate their specialty and rank. Some legendary rogues are known only by their calling cards - 'The Magpie' who steals only shiny objects, or 'Whisper' who's never been heard during a heist. Many rogues maintain multiple identities, each with complete backstories. The most successful rogues are those whose real names are completely unknown, lost in a web of aliases and false identities.
