Spy
The Spy spends most of their time in an assumed identity, and when they are done with it they abandon it to become someone new. Spies rarely make deep connections, since one misspoken word could mean their doom. Spies are masters of stealth and disguise, which both contribute to their ability to work behind enemy lines.

- Dedicated Role: If a Spy has been using Deception for more than 10 minutes, they can spend 1 Motivation to gain an Automatic Success to perpetuate that deception for the rest of the day.
- Vanish: As a Movement Action, The Spy can spend 1 Motivation to break the line-of-sight of a group and go into Stealth (and gain Concealment) as long as there are at least 2 other characters within 3 squares, even if these other characters are also enemies. The Spy must move at least 1 square to trigger this effect.
Ultimate Ability
- Instant Disguise: As an Extended Action (2 Actions) the Spy can spend 2 Motivation to don a disguise that makes them look like any creature they've seen up close (3 squares or less) in the last 24 hours. This disguise can be applied as long as they have Concealment. This disguise can be as an Extra, Elite, or even a Boss. It could even be a disguise of another party member. The Spy must pick a target that is roughly the same size and shape that they are.
