Glimmers (FiD)

Starfox's Blades in the Dark fan page

The Glimmers are master thieves and second-story specialists, experts in pulling off daring heists under the cover of night. With nimble fingers and cunning minds, they slip past guards, crack safes, and disappear without a trace. For the Glimmers, every job is an art, where skill, stealth, and a touch of luck yield untold rewards.

An adaptation of the Shadows crew playbook.
