Thieves

Description
These criminals actually try everything to go out of the way of a direct confrontation. They prefer to steal from people when they won't notice, or break into houses when the owners are not at home. However, should a Thief be caught in the act, he will most likely run away rather than trying to defend himself with a weapon.

Thieves seek throughout the cities.
