Adaptations of the historical worldbooks will suffice.

Another thought:

Border-scout:

Ambassador and/or Intelligence Officer of The Empire to wilderness area(analogous to Czarist Interpreter or Victorian Indian Political Officer).

Advantages: Area Knowledge, Patron(Emperor, or local noble/governor), contacts(local Imperial officials, native leaders, etc).

Disadvan:Hazardous Duty(Emperor's Service), CoH(officers, gentlemans, whatever), SoD(whoever), Social Stigma(gone native, or half-breed if the character has ancestors from the area)

Skills: Diplomacy, Cultural Familiarity, Survival(whatever type of terrain is in the area), Whatever fighting skills are appropriate,
