To quote the Core Rulebook on Grifters: Wielding the trust she inspires like a surgeon wields a scalpel, a Grifter aids the Crew by gaining information and access for herself or other Crewmembers. Unlike the Hacker, she does this on a purely personal level. Sometimes she manipulates the Mark into acting against his own interest, usually by convincing him that his true interest is her own...or that of her alter ego.

Grifters think quickly. Sometimes the Crew’s Mastermind sees a transient opportunity he didn’t anticipate; sometimes circumstances aren’t like the Crew expected in the briefing room. Either way, plans change—sometimes without warning. Grifters have to roll with it while maintaining their characters.
