 **COUNSELLOR**\\
-Description TBA.\\
+Guilds are larger organisations, and owing to their size, they’re also more vulnerable to accepting strangers into their ranks, as new recruits. As much as a thieves' guild needs new members from time to time, there is also a need for a screening process. Though guilds are far more welcoming of error than more typical crime gangs, there are still limits to their patience. The counsellor’s primary duty is to screen new recruits into a guild, in order to ensure they won’t pose a threat to other members and can be relied upon as long-term associates. Recruiters can provide new apprentices if needed, but the final decision rests with the Counsellor. After also doing some consulting with a guild’s Boss, of course. If the Counsellor decides against recruiting someone, that person is simply not recruited. Furthermore, the counsellor also has the invaluable duty of providing professional advice to individual guild members. Not only established ones, but also rookies or relatively skilled but still learning thieves. It's not unusual seeing a counsellor cooperating with guild bureaucrats or with stealth and combat skill trainers, while explaining things to guild newcomers. Though this can vary from guild to guild, the general practice is to have several veterans working in conjunction to advise or instruct a guild member. More people educating, warning or explaining is seen to have greater impact than leaving it all to a single person. All guild members working as Recruiters are subordinates to the Counsellor. They ultimately answer to him, then secondarily to the Guild Boss (though the latter is only in major cases or when he sends for them).\\
