Shadow-Marked Agent

Source: Eberron: Forge of the Artificer p. 84

Agents of House Phiarlan and House Thuranni, who are primarily elves, combine stealth and espionage with mastery of the performing arts—and dragonmarked heirs augment those skills with shadow magic. This stat block can serve for an agent of either house.

Even though House Phiarlan agents don’t typically work as entertainers or artists in addition to their espionage activities, they receive extensive training in those arts alongside other members of their house. House Thuranni agents, in contrast, are always both artists and spies.
