Ok so a Szarkai is an albino drow elf. An albino drow looks like a regular surface elf except they do have the sunlight weakness still.
So I am getting ready to play a lvl 5 Drow Noble character.
I haven't really decided on the class yet.
But the character would be a drow from the underworld but looks like a surface elf making him an idea spy. He is a LE character who I am hoping will slide more toward LN by the end of the campaign.
He is a spy for his family, though his family is an exiled house from the underdark so he is looking for means or methods to gain power to return to grace down there. But I am hoping for him to come to like his traveling companions.
He is trained as a spy, very good at intelligence gathering but that does not always have to mean a good stealth roll, heck talking can get you a nice bit of info if your charming.
Any suggestions?
A bard? hmm I suppose a bard could be used very well for the spying aspects. but I am not sure I see this 'elf' as the singing or instrument playing kind.
Note the Noble gets +4 Dex, +2 to all mental stats and -2 Con.

It's not always about performance - there are archetypes that will strip the explicitly Perform-related elements out.
It's more about the beguiling effects (like Fascinate) and the bard's spells.
Failing that, there's rogue. ^_^
Bards don't have to be singing , prancing musicians.
My bard for way of the wicked is the party rogue/face/assassin. He doesn't sing. He uses oratory to inspire his group with venomous words of hatred and he speaks weird words as words of pain to hurt his foes.

Well, that's fine for inspire competence, but some bardic peformances ask for especific type of performance. For example, countersong only works with keyboard, percussion, wind, string, or sing.
True, and there are archetypes to get rid of those. For countersong, you do need some sort of verbal or vocal performance, though.
