Saw the thread on the awesome option of playing a Representative of the Erlking "the Goblin Knight" and was wondering what other awesome Ideas for sponsors and such people have been toying around with, either emissary's or just for nifty sponsored magic. 


I was putting together a "Shapeshifter Prince " the other day based around being the son/scion of the semi-immortal shapeshifter guru mentioned as a freeholding lord in the Ukrane from the series.  True Shapeshifting and a big bag of modular powers will be fun. 


What awesomeness are all of you thinking of?  directly from the books or otherwise
