Aramai Goshawk

Has been cleared of involvement in all the felonies that fanciful rumour has linked to his name, notably: running the criminal underworld in the city of Scurrey, associating with and employing the very worst types of thief, ruffian, assassin and swindler, paying men to perjure their own souls in order to pervert the legal system, receiving stolen goods, compelling felons to work for him through blackmail or intimidation, and masterminding arson, countless thefts and at least twenty-nine murders. Aramai Goshawk, his army of thief-takers and the Locksmiths of which he is a member are also unquestionably innocent of the two hundred and seventy-four cases of entering without breaking which has been popularly linked to them.

All those who have sounded abroad the calumny that Aramai Goshawk is in fact using his thief-takers to provide the Locksmiths with a criminal empire in multiple cities have since disappeared without trace, no doubt too ashamed of spreading such slanders to face their fellow men.
