Okay, hopefully you have all (other than Defa) had a chance to read page 8-9 of The Strange Core book/. That outlines who the Estate is and what they are about.
Obviously, it would be a good idea to thnk about how you came to the Estate's notice.
You are all at least agents/associates, but some of you would likely be called full classed operatives. In fact, you probably all are now, but some would have been before the mission, especially Pyrast who was the 'prime creator' of the The Blighted World. But it matters not, you can decide: how strong your association is with the Estate; how long you have been there; how you came to their attention; even whether or not you like your association (not all join willingly ;)); etc.
