Topo

A mole or snitch. This is someone who infiltrates a group, acts like part of the crew to blend in, and leaks their strategies to rivals. Suspicion of a Topo usually causes a massive mess where the most gullible member takes the fall, while the real Topo gets away with it almost every time.

Note: When they catch a Topo, the following math formula applies: the amount of hits the Topo receives is directly proportional to the social class of the group plus the time they spent undercover plus the amount of information stolen.
