The Charlatan is a trickster; a cunning liar with the ability to convince people of almost anything. People who really ought to know better can find themselves believing that bottles contain a new wonder-medicine that will cure all their ills or that, for a small fee, their homes will be free of rats and bugs for good.
Needless to say, the Charlatan relies upon a glib tongue and natural charm, but the ability to size up an audience - to assess their credulity and anticipate what they will want to hear - is a Charlatan's most vital skill.
Charlatans frequently rely on a disguise - not to conceal their true appearance, but to present the kind of 'front' an audience will find acceptable. Thus, a Charlatan might don the robes of a Physician to sell miracle cures or present the appearance of an Artisan, Alchemist, or Wizard in order to lend dubious merchandise an air of authenticity.
While many Charlatans make a living working audiences and selling large quantities of fairly low-cost items, some specialise in selling bridges and other monuments.
