A rogue is an individual specializing in the arts of assassination, stealth, combat and also poison crafting. Rogues can be some of the most skilled combatants and use martial prowess and swiftness to take out their opponents.
Rogues generally don armors made of leather with steal or other harder pieces of plating to reinforce it. They choose leather to help benefit their specialties with being swift, deadly and quiet, and opposed to using plate, which would be too loud and restricting, or cloth that would be too un-protective, leather is a good "step in-between" and is characteristic of rogues.
For weapons, rogues can use a variety, the most common being daggers, but they can also use guns, bows, crossbows, and various melee weapons.
It is also a popular misconception of note that all rogues are affiliated with Stormwind's Intelligence Division Seven, known as SI:7. While many operatives are in fact rogues, most rogues are not in the organization, making this conception false.

An art almost exclusive to Rogues, the art of poison making is an art of brewing poisons to kill, incapacitate or do otherwise to an opponent or target.
