A '''master thief''' is a hostile, greedy [[Draft:Monster|character]] initially displayed as a red '''@''' named '''human'''. Its corpse and guild-recognition dialogue reveal the master-thief identity. It is distinct from the variable [[Draft:Monster#monster-7|ordinary humans]] and from the [[Draft:Shadowlord|Shadowlord]].<ref>{{Source|minit.h|205}}; {{Source|lev.c|341|347}}; {{Source|mtalk.c|238|253}}.</ref>

__TOC__

== Generation ==
Master thieves belong to ordinary random-monster pools. Each starts with a neutral +0 '''thieve's pick''' and zero through four random possessions. It has no damaging melee routine; its zero damage setting excludes it from random arena matches. The polymorph routine also excludes it as a randomly chosen new form.<ref>{{Source|lev.c|280|395}}; {{Source|iinit.h|10}}; {{Source|guild1.c|425|435}}; {{Source|effect3.c|939|952}}.</ref>

== Theft and escape ==
Like a [[Draft:Sneak-thief|sneak-thief]], it makes harmless melee contact and has three defensive actions. Its adjacent theft special can operate while peaceful. It selects a nonempty carried-inventory slot; equipped objects and theft immunity prevent a successful theft. A level check also protects the player, guaranteed against the ordinary master thief at player level 32 or higher.<ref>{{Source|minit.h|205}}; {{Source|mmelee.c|59|83}}; {{Source|effect1.c|554|567}}; {{Source|mspec.c|638|673}}.</ref>

The grip test is reversed from the usual expectation: it can make you hold on when Dexterity is below the random threshold. High Dexterity is therefore not reliable protection from this routine. If it succeeds, the thief takes the entire selected object or stack, teleports on the same level and changes both its normal and special behavior to retreat. It no longer attempts theft through that replaced special action.<ref>{{Source|mspec.c|638|673}}; {{Source|mmove.c|244|253}}.</ref>

Its stolen items remain recoverable from normal drops or death. The master thief can swim and opens doors while using its initial pursuit movement, making water and ordinary doors poor assumptions for containing it. It has no innate immunity. Sanctuary prevents its special action while you stand there.<ref>{{Source|mon.c|97|109}}; {{Source|mon.c|134|203}}; {{Source|minit.h|205}}; {{Source|util.c|93|151}}; {{Source|mon.c|402|417}}.</ref>

== Payment and recognition ==
A still-greedy master thief accepts '''600 Au in one payment''', or one non-cursed item of at least that intrinsic value, to become peaceful and stop being greedy. Smaller gifts are kept without adding toward the threshold; each accepted gift in this response adds one alignment point. Pacification does '''not''' switch off the theft special.<ref>{{Source|command2.c|400|454}}; {{Source|inv.c|38|49}}; {{Source|inv.c|364|429}}; {{Source|aux2.c|522|535}}; {{Source|mspec.c|638|673}}.</ref>

A [[Draft:Thieves' Guild|Thieves' Guild]] member can instead speak to the thief. It identifies itself as a master thief, gives the guild signal and vanishes, without kill experience or ordinary drops. Any already stolen items are not returned by this dialogue.<ref>{{Source|mtalk.c|238|253}}; {{Source|mmove.c|228|241}}.</ref>

== Remains ==
Normal death drops carried property and has a 50% chance of leaving a '''dead master thief'''. Eating it costs ten alignment points: food becomes 33 if alignment was positive, or increases by eight otherwise, subject to hunger limits. It has no alchemical transformation.<ref>{{Source|mon.c|134|203}}; {{Source|itemf1.c|664|688}}; {{Source|aux1.c|716|748}}; {{Source|minit.h|205}}.</ref>

== Strategy ==
Do not assume a red human figure is an ordinary peaceful resident. Protect valuable carried stacks by keeping distance or using guild recognition before a theft; a 600 Au bribe changes attitude without guaranteeing inventory safety. The thief's 100 HP makes recovering property through combat slower than fighting a sneak-thief. After a theft, pursuing it can recover the item, whereas guild dismissal removes that opportunity.
