Working out my character. Would it be okay to play as a character thats a contact of the Blades? Not a member, but one of their local associates/disposable catpaws (pun impending).

The Blades are mostly inactive at this point. You [i]can[/i] be an associate, sure, but I'm not sure what it will add to your character when his contacts are holed up in Cloud Ruler Temple as they wait for the storm to blow over.
