Investigators are heroes who have learned to sift through the worst that humankind has to offer in order to bring the darkest and dirtiest secrets to light. Skilled at examining crime scenes, tracking down people who disappear, and piecing together evidence, a professional investigator is a tremendous addition to any party of heroes. Investigators may serve with a dozen different law enforcement agencies—such as the national police of a [[the_stellar_nations|stellar nation]] or the system police of a Verge world—or they may choose private employment.// |

| The Investigator might be an intrepid reporter or a photo journalist. She might be a private investigator, or a detective, maybe even with a law enforcement agency. The Investigator uses wisdom and deduction, as well as a lot of hard work, to get to the solution of whatever mystery comes before her. One Investigator might prefer to expend brain power and intuition instead of muscle on the case at hand, while another won't mind wading into trouble or engaging in a firefight while solving a crime. | The Investigator might be an intrepid reporter or a photo journalist.
