Personal Dialogue

Introduction

• "Sir! Sorry, old habit. You'll get used to it. Blackguard training did a number on me. I'm Huck. Served in the Oriath 3rd for five years. Dishonourably discharged, though I consider that an honour. \r\n\r\nMy time with the Blackguards put a lot of things in perspective, least once I had some distance from them. What we do here might be illegal, but that don't make it wrong. \r\n\r\nYou need something -- anything -- you come to me, yeah? We're family now. Family look out for each other."

The Boss

• "Haven't actually met him myself. Been dealing mostly with lady Kurai. Bit like the old days, really. Orders come down the chain and stop when they hit the right pair of ears. I'm eager to meet him though. Owe him my life. Had some very dark days after I got discharged. Not a lot of people want to hire veterans, especially when they leave the service under less-than-ideal circumstances. But the Boss secured me a place to live, and gave me a steady income and work to keep me busy."

Personal Questline

• Contract: Finding Opal

Preparation

• "Ah, my contract. Took it out not long after joining the Ring to track down a mate of mine. Man named Enoch. Not easy making friends at my age, but active duty has a way of forging near-unbreakable bonds. Enoch and I got real close. Might as well've been brothers. Right before I got discharged, Enoch was called up to a special unit we'd heard rumours about. A group under the direction of Piety, of all people. Supposedly some elite strike force, but no one personally knew anyone who was a part of it. 'Til Enoch, that is. After I started working for the Boss, I asked Whakano to find Enoch. Thought he might be a good fit. But Whakano found no traces. I want to break into the Blackguard Records and find out where he's deployed."

During

• "Let's see... Good. Enoch's file is in here. Let's go."

Completion

• "Gods damn them. Piety, Dominus, Gravicius, the whole lot of 'em. They moved Enoch into an 'Unspecified Research' unit. Dead a month later, the cause listed as 'Severe reaction to subdermal augmentations'. They tried to turn him into a gods-damned gemling, and killed him in the process. Oh, Enoch. I'm so sorry, mate. \r\n\r\nI appreciate the backup, Exile. I need a bit of time to sort my emotions out, but I reckon I'll have more work for you soon enough."

• Contract: Opal's Jewels

Preparation

• "Not long after we found Enoch's file, Whakano informed me that he'd found Enoch's family, and that even they had no idea where he was. They assumed he was still on duty.Can you believe that? The bloody Templars had the gall to massacre Enoch and not even tell his family. That just don't sit right with me. His records don't list a final resting place, but I know that most blackguards who died on duty were cremated and put to rest in the tunnels beneath the city. It's a long-shot, but maybe we can find some trace of Enoch, to give his parents peace."

Completion

• "Enoch was the sort of man who'd starve to make sure you had something to eat. The sort of man whose oath to protect and preserve informed everything he did. He deserved far better than he got, and we can do nothing for him now. But with his service records and his tags, we can at least let his mum and dad know what happened. Don't worry, Exile. I'll handle this messy part. You've done more than enough. Thank you."

• Contract: Enoch's Whereabouts

==

• Contract: Enoch's Remains

Lore

Huck had a friend called Enoch who was working for the Templar Blackguard. In the first contract Contract: Enoch's Whereabouts, Enoch went missing and Huck tasks the player with finding the records to indicate his current posting. The records reveal that Enoch was killed in duty and the Templars didn't even inform his parents. In Contract: Enoch's Remains, Huck tasks the player with finding Enoch's cremated remains in the tunnels beneath Oriath. The player finds Enoch's scorched remains and retrieves his Tags as a memento for his parents.

Optimal Gear

This section's tone is highly subjective and should be rewritten in a way that presents facts rather than opinions.

Alternatively, consider splitting this section off into a guide.

This gear is expensive to purchase but cheap and easy to craft yourself. See the Rogue gear crafting guide for steps.

The following lists the optimal gear setup, as well as mentioning the important mods that their equipment must have. This guide assumes that the rogue is level 3 (have at least one skill at level 3).

The following gear illustrates the "perfect roll" mods and are extremely hard to craft, but even lower rolls are fine for general usage.
