EDIT: okay, that was weird...
EDIT 2: I'm not sure why this keeps getting posted weirdly... >:/
Anyway...
Dragon (non chaotic) working for the bank of Abadar, guarding the treasure horde of hundreds of bank clients, noble families, other churches, trading houses, moneylenders and mercantile consortiums, etc. Intellectually, he knows that all the treasure he sits on isn't *his*, particularly since clerics come in and make withdrawals and deposits all the time, but he is happy just getting to sit on a pile of gold ten times larger than anything he could have amassed on his own. He also knows that any dragon hunter who comes after him and 'his' gold has to storm a fortified bank, and fight their way through dozens of mid to high level clerics of Abadar!
We did this in our Kingmaker game! We have a dragon who is both treasurer and tax collector. Curiously, all the taxes are paid on time, and the vault is really well protected...

On the opposing side, vexgit wrecking crews. You need to herd them somehow, but it's possible Kragreth-Kol or his halfling sidekick (or one of their descendants) managed to figure out how to do that. Give them tiny yellow hardhats (safety first!), unleash them, and look at them dismantle that dinged-up Kuthite cathedral at Juniper Street with only some collateral damage.

Thinking about it, this could be a great plot- a publicly known doppleganger, just doing his job and being a minor star. People try to blame him for stuff all the time, but everyone writes that off...
Until there is a crime where everyone saw a doppleganger (ie- shapeshifter). Then, everything falls on his head. But the party begins to investigate and discover that there is more than one shape shifter in town...
It becomes a big silly mess. Did the stuntman do the crime, or was it the newcomer? Or perhaps there is a scheme of a group using clever tricks to make everyone think they are actually a doppleganger. I would love a three way crime mystery.

A minotaur gardener as the keeper and maintainer of the royal hedge-maze / topiary gardens. He did such a good job on the hedge maze that they had to add some fountains and food trees so that people lost in it didn't die of dehydration/starvation. He's actually pretty shy (The other minotaurs used to pick on him for being runty. They're all dead now...), and visitors to the royal gardens tend to think he's a myth.

Dopplegangers are just great for so many roles.
They can play any role, as an actor, no special makeup required.
They can stand in for rich people who don't want to go to an event, functioning as a sort of celebrity look-alike, which could be handy for the powerful person who doesn't want to reveal that they are sick or infirm, or for a family that doesn't want to reveal that their legendary patriarch is dead, and that they are coasting on his reputation, or the political or religious leader who fears that they've been targeted for assassination, and wants to 'appear' at an event 'fearlessly' while they remain home and safe. (The doppleganger may charge more if it realizes that the target fears assassination, and keeping secrets from a creature that can read minds and become anyone is probably more dangerous in the long run than just risking a public assassination...)
They can be the 'Remington Steele,' the 'acceptable' public face of a business or movement that is actually run by individuals who aren't taken seriously or suffer prejudice (like a woman running a detective agency, or an orc or goblin attempting pretty much any serious business venture).
ESP at will makes them terrifyingly effective law enforcement or customs or harbormaster types, always able to verify faultlessly if those before them are accurately listing their imports into the city, or relating witness testimony of a crime. Tariff-defying smugglers and captains who figure out the trick will designate certain members of the crew to be kept in the dark about what they are *really* shipping in the secret hold, or that waterproofed chest in the bilge, and those clueless patsies will be sent to the harbormasters office with the cargo manifest, so that they can't give away anything when their minds are probed. On the other side of the law, they'd also be good at providing witness alibis, even appearing as a supposed murder victim to claim that it was all a mistake, and their ESP power would be just as useful at facilitating smuggling and evading law-enforcement.
And then there's the 'world's oldest profession,' which for a creature able to know what their clients secretly desire, and transform into their ideal lover, would be a snap.
