Background: Radiant Springs was born in a small village a two day's journey east of Thorns. He was visiting the city with his family on the day of the attack, but was visited by the Bureaucracy to be claimed for Exaltation a few hours before the Mask launched his assault. All that remains of his family is the small knife that belonged to his father.


After passing through training quickly (understaffed department), he was picked up by the Gold Faction, who he sympathises greatly with.


The Gold Faction set Radiant Springs to work as a field agent in the East, tweaking events to have a favorable outcome, until several of his higher ups noticed a snarl of Fate weaving around the dominion of Balursa. Radiant Springs was chosen to be the Gold agent tasked with ensuring that whatever is happening there ends up favoring the Gold Faction.


Once in Balursa, Radiant Springs identified himself to the king while wearing the Mask and was taken on as a spymaster and advisor for the dominion. Shortly after his arrival, Radiant Springs was forced to deal with a Bronze agent who's mission was at odds with his own, one Cynis Harnhold. After a brief but fierce social and bureaucratic rivalry, Harnhold was evicted from the dominion. Unwilling to return until his mission is complete, Harnhold has taken residence in a nearby dominion where he harbors no small grudge against Radiant Springs...
 
My reasoning was that while Awareness is a valuable skill for a spy, Radiant Springs operates more through social manipulation rather than just observation, hence the high Socialize rather than Awareness. Furthermore, the low Awareness/high Investigate shows that he tends to overlook things at first glance, but once he starts focusing on it he can discover all sorts of hidden truths.
