Cultural Insights
Aliases and Multiple Identities
Rogues often maintain multiple identities - a public name, criminal alias, and guild affiliation. These aliases serve as protection and professional branding, with many rogues becoming better known by their nicknames than their given names in underworld circles.
Underworld Culture and Guild Traditions
Rogue naming conventions are heavily influenced by criminal organizations, thieves' guilds, and shadow networks. Different guilds may have specific naming patterns, with members earning new names or titles based on their specialties and accomplishments within the organization.
Skill-Based and Animal-Inspired Names
Many rogues adopt names that reference their specialized skills (Quickfingers, Eagle-Eye, Silver-Tongue) or animal traits (Fox, Raven, Hawk, Wolf). These names serve as both description and reputation, instantly communicating the rogue's capabilities to those in the know.
