Chant Broker (PWH)

__TOC__
: "I find the dark of things. If you pay me real well, I'll share a bit of the true chant with you."
Knowledge is power. Tired of hearing that yet? Well, don't be, 'cause if s true. Nobody knows that better than a chant broker. These bashers make it their lives and their livelihood.
BACKGROUND: The chant broker probably grew up on the streets of some burg, learning that hidden secrets are the true path to power. But anyone can be a chant broker—anyone interested in lighting up the dark, anyway.
CHARACTER: A sharp contrast to the disinterested berks (see below), these bashers want to know everything. At times, they're nosy to the point of being annoying. Most choose one base of operations, but a chant broker might also be an adventurer who travels the planes primarily to observe and gain information.
Then he goes back to Sigil and sells the knowledge to particular citizens or on the open market. The Cage isn't the only place to sell information, but it's usually the easiest. NPCs of power and prestige hire well-known chant brokers as spies or informants, usually paying very well—but their missions include a fair amount of risk.
MOTIVATIONS: The primary goal of these folks is obvious. They want to know as much as possible. This knowledge can be sold, or it can be gathered for their own use. Some bashers simply want to know how the multiverse works. Barmies allow this need for information to consume them, but canny cutters use it to become knowledgeable and powerful.
ROLE-PLAYING: Ask questions. A chant broker has to poke his nose and park his ears even where they're not welcome. Write things down. Be observant. Look for the clues that connect events—therein lie the real secrets.
