“So, five thieves decided to go white hat? Isn’t that just
precious? Do you know what we have? We have every
other criminal on the face of the planet. No offense to
the five. I’m sure they’re perfectly competent. They sound
wonderful at what they do. But for every one of them,
you can find thousands of us. We’re not all masters, no.
But enough of us are.”

How To Use This Book
Inside, you’ll find Foils for your Leverage game.
We’ve detailed four characters, each with motivations,
personalities, power bases, and specialties. While
intended as Foils, they could very well be Marks,
or play other roles in your stories. The idea is to take
some weight off your shoulders as Fixer. We’ve also
provided some general advice for playing a Foil, to
expand on the presented material in the Leverage
Roleplaying Game.
 Foil Advice
Here are a few bits of advice for playing a solid Foil, with
examples from the four Foils included in this book.
Think in Arcs
Foils don’t get as much screen time as any Crewmember,
yet they get a full Rap Sheet. This means they’re more
difficult to develop than a Crewmember. To make up
for this, think in arcs. We’ve provided arc ideas for the
Foils here. But when making your own Foils, consider a
three-step progression to present through various Jobs.
Even if you don’t intend on playing through multiple
Jobs, it’ll help you to envision and present the character
as someone with goals and direction.
Example: Aaron Kelley
Aaron’s arc focuses on bigger and bigger defense
cases. If you’re planning to use him in multiple Jobs,
give him a moment’s screen time in the form of a news
report at the beginning of the episode. Maybe your
Hacker is watching the story of his most recent judicial
conquest. This will integrate him with the story casually,
and remind the Crew that he exists outside their line of
sight. In just a few seconds, you show them that your
world is living and breathing, and includes characters
with motivations beyond the Crew’s efforts.
Roll Dice
Often, the Crew is very active. The setting, the Mark,
the Job are all reactionary. The Crew pushes, the setting
pushes back. That’s fine! But a Foil should push as well.
A Foil should be proactive, and even aggressive. Don’t
be afraid to initiate actions and roll dice. As a guideline
for when you should do so, look to the Foil’s Talents and
Distinctions. If it’s worth using a Talent or Distinction,
it’s worth initiating a roll.
Example: Cameron Wells
Cameron has his signature Calling Card, represented
by a Talent. Any time something shows up missing, jump
on the opportunity to bring that into play. Take that Asset.
Announce to the players how they find his signature
card. Make a show of it. That way they know early on
that he’s involved, and they can get their mandatory
grumbling out of the way. They also know that you’re
building a stockpile of Assets for later on.
Let the Players Pick
Consider letting the players pick their Foil. After all,
they’ll enjoy a nemesis more if they can identify with the
character. In this book, we’ve offered new Talents to the
Crew to help integrate the Foils. You could also let them
choose that way.
Example: Erica Jackson
The new Talent One Step Ahead is a great generator
of Plot Points. It also draws Erica Jackson into the story. If
a player wants the Plot Point engine, they’ll have to work
out what they did to draw Erica’s ire. If this is your first
game, Erica could be part of The Recruitment Job.
Foil Advice 1
 Foil Format
We’ve presented the Foils with the following details and
format. This gives you the tools to advance them and
modify them to fit the scope of your Job.
Background
This gives a full background of the character. It gives
enough to explain the Foil’s motivations, and ways for
the Crew to interact with him. It should be enough for a
solid briefing.
Play Tips
Here, we go over some advice for how to make this
character stand out at the table. It may help you to keep
the Foil memorable. Also, we offer reminders about their
Talents and Distinctions.
Arc
This section offers two additional levels of progress in
the Foil’s story. The Rap Sheet assumes the character
is just being introduced, or the Crew hasn’t worked
together for very long. You can either choose to start
the Foil later in the arc, or as the story progresses, you
can use these guidelines to make the Foil an even bigger
problem. Since Foils typically work without a Crew, they
advance faster than the Crew. We also list the changes to
the Foil’s Rap Sheet to reflect that advancement.
Default Level
At the default level represented by the background and
Rap Sheet, the Foil is a competent threat to the Crew’s
plans. The Foil is a professional, someone with a heavy
degree of skill in his field. It just so happens that the
Crew typically outclasses the Foil at this level.
2 Foil Folio
Excellence
This is after the first major turning point in the Foil’s
career. Usually, after the Crew really sticks it to a Foil,
he comes back stronger. Alternatively, if you want to
pose a significant challenge the Crew may not be able to
overcome, this is how.
Mastery
This is a Foil at the top of his game. At this level, the Foil
has taken his career by its reins, and transformed it into
something greater. Now, the Foil is a force to be reckoned
with. Any time he interjects, the situation escalates,
sometimes out of the Crew’s control.
New Talent
This isn’t a Talent for the Foil; this is a Talent for the
Crew, reflecting the Foil’s influence in the game. When
you introduce this Foil, offer your players the chance to
take this Talent. It helps them engage the Foil and better
integrate him into the story. If for some reason the Foil
leaves play permanently, just allow the Crewmember to
swap out the Talent for another, or allow it to reflect a
new Foil.
However, the Talents on the Foil’s Rap Sheet are
designed for the Foil specifically. With Fixer approval,
they may be taken by Crewmembers. Consider these
extensively, since many are particularly strong in
the hands of Crewmembers, and some require an
antagonistic role in the Job.
Featured Foils
 This is who you’ll find inside:
Erica Jackson, The Revenger: She was close with the
Mark. Too close. And when the Job ended, and the
dust settled, she vowed to take revenge.
Aaron Kelley, Ambulance Chaser: Aaron Kelly is
an attorney looking for the big money. Any time a
corporation or powerful person falls, he’s looking to
cash in.
4 Foil Folio
Allison Kinsey, Investigative Reporter: She’s young
and ambitious, and dead set on putting the Crew’s
faces on television for their crimes.
Cameron Wells, Master Thief: He’s the kind of cat
burglar legends are made of. Unfortunately for the
Crew, he’s often after the same prize they are.

 Background
Aaron Kelley was always a bit of a sleazebag. He went to
the prom in a plaid, tweed suit he picked up at the thrift
store, and everyone thought it was perfect for him. He
was voted Most Likely to Own a Used Car Dealership. He
laughed it off. He had his eyes set higher. As he made his
college choices, the OJ Simpson trial was on everyone’s
mind. He saw Johnny Cochran, and decided, “I can do
better than that.” He went to a fly-by-night law school,
and represented the worst of the worst.
He became notorious for finding technicalities and
loopholes in cases, which caused the release of many
otherwise-confirmed criminals. For a while, his television
ads stated that even if you knowingly committed murder,
he could make Lady Justice turn a blind eye. Needless to
say, he wasn’t popular. More than once, families of his
clients’ victims made attempts for his life.
In the past few years, he’s devoted his attention to
raising the profile of his cases. He’s been looking into
white collar crime thanks to the stock market crash. He’s
hung on the coattails of the privileged, with the intent to
defend. Unfortunately for his predictions, decidedly few
cases came out of the crash, so he was left high and dry.
This was until the Crew stepped in. He saw their efforts,
and watched CEOs and politicians alike fall under their
hammer. When he saw the Crew, he saw dollar signs.
All he had to do was follow them around and scrape up
whatever fell loose. Or at least, that’s what he thought.
The truth is, the Crew’s cases were too tough to crack.
With manipulated records, he had no hope of defending
these people. So, he took to asking the Crew for scraps. A
little defendant here, a little mistrial there.

Play Tips
You’re used to a world where nobody likes you. Whereas
this would cause some to have low self-esteem, it tickles
you. It reminds you that you’re willing to do something
others can’t. For a while, you told yourself you were
a hero, giving people the legal system they deserve.
Eventually, you gave up on the silliness, and admitted to
yourself that you’re a profiteer. This admission was the
most liberating moment of your life. Let that sink in.
When playing Aaron, you have two goals:
First, you’re trying to convince the Crew to let you
in. You’re not always looking to defend the Mark.
Often, you’re just finding peripheral criminals, or even
an umbrella corporation affiliated with the Mark.
Technically, they could do what you want, and profit
greatly. Pretend it’s a used car. Sell it to them.
Second, you’re a gnat. You’re a pest. You draw undue
attention and make the Crew look bad by association.
You have two Talents with which to make this happen.
Wait until they’re in a sensitive moment. Wait until the
Grifter is right there with the Mark, and make your move.
Pretend you’re their attorney. Break down any credibility
they’ve established.

 Background
Cameron Wells always had what he wanted. He grew up
a privileged, rich kid to jet set businesspeople. He’d seen
the world, and they promised that one day, it’d all be his.
He was the kind of kid raised by chauffeurs and nannies
more than his parents.
However, when his parents died in a plane crash, it
changed his perspective forever. He felt that they were
invincible because they were wealthy and powerful.
When they died, he realized that nothing could prevent
the unexpected, and that life was very temporary. He
could have bettered himself for it. But instead, his
takeaway was that with limited time, a person should
take everything they can and revel in the immediacy of
ownership.
With access to advanced technology and remarkable
instructors, Cameron quickly trained to become a cat
burglar without parallel. He didn’t care about what
he stole; he cared about the value, and the ownership.
He never liked art, but he liked owning expensive and
unique things. He couldn’t tell you why people like
Picasso, but he can tell you how many zeroes are on the
price tag. He doesn’t even care about keeping the things;
he’s been known to dump valuable pieces to the curb,
sometimes literally.
Now, he devotes his time to looking for the biggest
prizes and the biggest thrills. No conquest is enough.
Since the Crew often goes after those with such prizes,
they’re often in competition with Cameron for the same
items. Cameron isn’t known for letting grudges drop.
He’s chased rivals to the ends of the Earth over clay pots
and copper jewelry. He particularly loathes the Crew’s
Thief.

Play Tips
You’re the eternal rogue. You maintain a permanent air
of flirtatious mystery about you. Everyone’s a potential
mark. Everyone’s a potential date. These two things are
not mutually incompatible. If they have class, you have
a one-liner.
At first, the Crew should hate to hate you. You should
be smooth, collected, fun, and interesting. This is, until
you’ve launched your first con against them. At which
time, they’ll love to hate you. You’re not out to destroy
them. You’re out to poke at their proverbial hornet’s nest.
You’re there to cause problems, and make their lives
inconvenient. If the Crew ends up imprisoned, that’s fine.
But you’d be content with everyone laughing at them.
When playing Cameron, drop his Thief of Hearts
and Calling Card Talents as often as possible. Not only
will they shift the numbers in play, but they’ll entrench
him deeply in the story, and give the Crew a reason to
pursue. With Thief of Hearts in particular, you can use
it to skyrocket the Crew’s motivation. Just use it to get
Cameron in close with someone on the Job that they
really like. Put that character between Cameron and the
Crew. This way, if Cameron scores Complications, they
can reflect that tug-of-war relationship.

At this point in his career, Cameron is nothing short
of legendary. He has his own briefing module during
Interpol training. He famously drew a moustache on
his photo in FBI headquarters, just to prove a point. He
believes he’s invincible, and he has no small amount of
evidence to back up his assertions.
