Ironically enough, all his effort to remain hidden did not remain unnoticed, and the sturdier, louder individuals would sometimes contract small jobs with him when they needed a subtler touch.

Toward the end of this career, this all paid off for him in a big way, as he came into his most prized possession.

While tasked to steal a bauble from a traveling hedge mage, he found the mage's book of tricks, all written in a code that, to his delight, was still based on Ubrekti.

He's made almost no real progress so far, but always insists that he's just on the verge of a breakthrough. Luckily for the thief, the mage himself either didn't bother too much with the book, or never discovered who took it, because Bobwhite hasn't heard from him, since. | ||
