Almost nothing is known about The Red Feather Thief. Male? Female? Young? Not so young? Race? Looks? Nobody knows…except maybe the crew that works with him/her. What is known is that Red Feather has mad skills, plenty of smarts, and some crazy luck. And then there’s that habit of leaving a red feather at the scene of each crime. Usually, it’s the only clue the cops get. Sometimes it’s a macaw feather, sometimes it comes from a cardinal or a chicken or some other bird, but it’s always there.
Red Feather works with a crew of between 3 and 6 other thieves. Most of their jobs are residential, in upscale neighborhoods, but there is always room for the odd warehouse or business, too. At this date, they have pulled off scores in 21 of the 50 states, plus a few in Mexico and Canada.
The Mafia (and a few other criminal organizations) would like to either “recruit” Red Feather or kill her/him. Unfortunately, they not only can’t locate the Master Thief, they keep running afoul of the Feds every time they try. This is not due to any affiliation Red Feather has with the FBI, but more due to some very timely tipoffs.
In his/her spare time, The Red Feather Thief enjoys a wide variety of scholarly and hedonistic pleasures.
