Sapience,

With the recent conclusion of our prior contract, the sellsword company known as the Brokers of Fate is once more available for hire.

The Brokers of Fate is a small, elite group of sellswords and mercenaries that operates as an organization unaffiliated with any city. Contracts of all sorts will be considered, be they for defense, law enforcement, espionage, assassination, or siegework. Members may be contracted singularly, or the band may be hired in its entirety, as negotiated at the time of contract signing.

The Brokers of Fate reserve the right to accept or refuse any contract as they see fit. Integrity in this matter is paramount, as a potential client the terms will always be clear, and the client will always be appraised of precisely what they are buying, in terms of personell.

As of this moment, the two founders of the Brokers of Fate are Sheryni Nebre'seir and Whirran Mulariad Arcan-Tetzauh. Both members are currently available, and may be contacted by interested parties. In accord with our policy of clarity, please find below the portfolios of these two members. Any new member will be expected to fill out the same to adhere to company policy.

Training and Background
Trained by House Nebre'seir, Sheryni's education was rigorous, encompassing a blend of martial discipline, shadow manipulation, and the subtleties of subterfuge and diplomacy. Her training ensured she could handle any situation - from slaying enemies in the dead of night to politely declining a goblet of "wine" offered by over-eager allies. House Nebre'seir emphasized perfection, including teaching her how to navigate difficult diplomatic dinners without giving in to her baser instincts, despite how delectable some emissaries might have looked.

In one-on-one combat, she exploits her opponent's weaknesses with swift and merciless strikes. Efficiency is key, and she is not interested in unnecessarily long engagements - after all, there's only so much time before sunrise.

Training and Background
Whirran's training nominally comes from the Carnifex, where he was taught to beat names and ass with equal impunity. This propensity for wholesale brawling, banditry, and bedlam was later tempered into a soldier's discipline under the tutelage of Bamathis, the Warlord. Unwilling to accept only conventional disciplines, Whirran likewise studied under the devoted, steak-loving Nok, learning extensive demolitions with the worlds greatest Tinkermancer.

Notable Contracts
* Defense of Salma, fulfilling the contract with no complaints. Notably, no snail travel exceded the speed limit laid out within the agreed upon document, lawbreaking was punished swiftly and without mercy, and ensured Deputy Sheryni did not snack on the clients.

Personality Traits
* Beligerence: Does not accept no for an answer.
* Boldness: Careful is for wusses.
* Efficient: Why hit them twice, when once will do?

Preferred Methods and Tactics
Whirran prefers straightforward but effective methods. These usually involve applying a blunt object to the frontal area of any problem until it ceases being a problem. When alternative methods are required, he has been known to utilize blunt objects on differing areas of a problem, or simply blow the problem up entirely. These measures are often prefaced by clarion dictations to "accept the inevitable," "get on with it," or "cease and desist at once," depending on what the situation requires.
