Cunning is an interesting thing because the snake in Genesis is said to be cunning and definitely not in a good way, but we're also told by Christ to be cunning like serpents.

Anyways, in my first novel Inquisitor's Promise I tried to make the hero Aeneas to be a cunning hero but also an honorable one (meaning that he cannot lie or break his word). And he certainly needed to handle things with finesse because he was navigating a very perilous political situation. One wrong move and it would be the end of everything (so to speak). But I'll let the readers decide if I did a good job in portraying that aspect of the novel/character.
