Free Agent
Each Lead Banker will have several Tellers reporting to them. These will include indentured servants and free agents. Free agents are necessary to expand the banker's reach and ensure that all areas of their assigned territory are monitored. Free agents explore new territories and look for potential assets, whenever possible negotiating in the banker's stead or at least setting up the beginnings of the negotiation.
If a free agent happens upon an escaped or potential asset, they will take the entity into custody, providing for them until they can be presented to the banker.
While some see these individuals as little more than pirates or slavers, it is important to note that their pay is based upon the value of the asset that they bring in. Therefore, assets are always treated with the utmost care and concern for their health and well-being. In some cultures that are familiar with free agents, individuals who have lost hope will actually seek out a free agent to turn themselves into, knowing that their future will be brighter under the care of these beings.
