Gleeman

Gleemen are entertainers, often traveling between towns, villages, inns, and taverns. They are expected to be masterful story tellers as well as acrobats. They typically wear a cloak made of many colorful patches. Most skilled gleemen can play at least one sort of instrument. Some play the flute; more skillful gleemen play the harp.
Gleemen are allowed to go almost anywhere they wish, as nearly all commoners delight in or at least tolerate their presence. The Aiel allow only gleemen, tinkers, and peddlers to cross the Spine of the World.
The Forsaken Asmodean disguised himself as a gleeman for a time.
