| — Nobleman idle quote | ||
Noblemen or noblewoman represent the more wealthy and often more powerful element of The City. These men and women are the land owners, the socialites and the idle rich and as such are prime targets for thieves.
The City is awash with a large number of Nobles of various types, most commonly Lords and Ladies. A number of these appear to operate in charge of some of the less seemly fields such as working as a Warden, or working for one, in charge of gambling pits and dens as a way to keep or gain higher social status.
As a NPC type[]
The Dark Project/Thief Gold[]
The nobleman or noblewoman is a different type of NPC from the Opera Guests. A rather famous one is the warden Ramirez in the mission Assassins.
The Metal Age[]
These noblemen or noblewomen have a huge variety of ages and dresses acting more as bystanders and follow the same behaviour as the regular Servant and flee on first sight of danger. The nobleman or woman usually caries valuable stuff on his or hers belt.
While Noblemen are a rare sight on the streets, they can often be found inside of manors or wealthy locations such as the First City Bank and Trust and Angelwatch.
Deadly Shadows[]
Nobles are seen more on the streets, mixing with people of lower class and often wearing valuables such as jewels but can still be found in large mansions and castles.
Note[]
- In Thief II: The Metal Age, the nobles were a major part of the mechanist leader Karras' plan by giving them Masked Servants as gifts.
- Garrett comments that Auldale is wall to wall nobility in Deadly Shadows. It's certainly one of the more richer districts of The City.
