 ====== Investigator ======
+Mysteries surround us, and you have dedicated yourself to uncovering the truth. Whether driven by curiosity, duty, or a personal vendetta, you have sharpened your mind to notice what others overlook. Lies, half-truths, and hidden motives are as clear to you as ink on a page, and you have learned to follow the threads of evidence wherever they may lead---be it to a murderer’s doorstep, a corrupt official’s ledger, or the heart of a grand conspiracy.
+{{ :legacy:characters:background:investigator.jpg?400|}}Your skills make you invaluable in many circles. Law enforcement may call upon you to solve crimes, while private clients seek your discretion in matters both personal and professional. Some investigators prefer the shadows, gathering intelligence for a spy network or working the criminal underworld. Others use their talents in scholarly pursuits, researching lost histories, deciphering cryptic texts, or exposing dangerous secrets best left forgotten.
-===== Attributes =====
+But knowledge comes at a cost. The deeper you dig, the more powerful the forces that seek to stop you. You have learned to be cautious---reading a room before you speak, covering your tracks, and knowing when to ask the right questions and when to keep your mouth shut. Yet, despite the risks, you press on, because the truth is worth the danger, and someone has to bring it to light.
