The following is a Gaslight project....

Gaslight's Gentleman Thief page

   This is my list of gentelmen rogue criminals. It doesn't include other rogue criminals, whether they be shady detectives or sea-faring smugglers, because the gentlemen rogues are a subclass of their own.

   All of these thieves move in the upper circles or present themselves with a particular polish.
