You wouldn't think that a thief would be known for honor. But if video games have taught us anything, it's that thieving is all about respect and reputation, at least it is if you're a raccoon from a long line of thieves (like Sly Cooper) or a self-proclaimed "treasure hunter" with a half tucked-in shirt (like Nathan Drake). We think Heist Society's Katarina Bishop is a little bit Sly Cooper and a little bit Nathan Drake, with a pinch of Lara Croft's sex appeal and survival instinct. What we mean is: you can trust her word. You might not be able to trust her with your Renoir, but her word is priceless.
Questions About Respect and Reputation
- How does Kat's stint at the Colgan School affect her reputation with her fellow thieves?
- Kat seems to think Gabrielle is a ditz. Do you think Gabrielle has really earned this reputation, or is Kat mistaken? What might Kat have against Gabrielle?
- How did Taccone earn his reputation as a dangerous guy? Do you think Taccone is as dangerous as his reputation leads people to believe, or is he all talk and no action?
