Charlatan
Charlatans are extremely cunning individuals that prey on human naivety. Thanks to their
sharp mind and glib tongue, they can convince unsuspecting victims of almost anything.
Inferior swindlers usually engage in small-scale fraud. Disguised as doctors or wizards,
they persuade naive people to buy miraculous medicines and tinctures, which
usually turn out to be nothing more than colored water. Some of them do have a bit
of knowledge, but most rely only on a talent for improvising.
The most talented and famous con-artists are able to draw the elite of the Old World
into huge financial frauds and live at their expense for years to evaporate at the last
moment with a colossal fortune.
