Which NPC can be pickpocketed with a 100% success rate above level 100?

Question

In the OSRS Trailblazer League the "Skilling Prodigy" Relic allows you to get a permanent skill boost of +12 to all your non-combat skills.
Now in the base game Knights of Ardougne are a very popular thieving training method since at level 95 it is no longer possible to fail pickpockets when the Ardougne Medium diary is completed.
If I understand the current league mechanic correctly, theoretically it would be possible to boost thieving up to level 116 (+12 from the relic and +5 from a Stew).
So what is there a higher level NPC from which it's possible to steal? (At level 116 with both the Ardougne Diary and the Thieving cape if necessary.)

You slightly misunderstood the boosting mechanic. You get a permanent +12 boost, but that means other boosts with maximums under +12 don't work. Stews have a max boost of +6 regardless of the skilling prodigy relic. Therefore, the maximum thieving level is 111/99. There is also some reason to suspect that boosts past 99 have no effect on pickpocket success chance. I recall a jmod looking into something similar for mining granite with a dragon pickaxe boost. The jmod decided that boosts past 99 have no effect on mining speed.
The next NPC after Ardougne knights in order of thieving level required are Yanille watchmen at level 65. With 111/99 thieving, the completed Ardougne diary and a thieving cape it is still possible to fail to pickpocket a watchman.
