Pragmatists

Love Exalted heroes who are pragmatic and follow practical considerations above traditional morals, values or taboos. Much more than the average strategist.

They are willing to lie, cheat, steal, offend, or just generally 'play dirty' in order to save the day. In darker moments, a Pragmatist may well be willing to abandon their own otherwise firm values to save others.

These types of heroes are very Machiavellian in this way, because for them the "end justifies the means". It is common for pragmatic characters to be used to directly ignore/defy hero clichés in order to win. As a result, this make some of them rather Street-Smart in a way.
