"Blood stained hands, do you even see it when they line your palms with golden treasures?
You are a paid killer, redeemable only by fact that your loyalty can be bought, gold is the great hypocritical lubricant in life, founding empires, driving brothers to kill one another.
You care not. Another day, another mammon."
"Your sponsor, the Merchant, representing the MGE guild, might have work for you todae, go find out."
You are a mercenary from the Grenzelhoft Mercenary Guild, here in Vanderlin to be employed as a sellsword to do their bidding. You can be employed and be a loyal sellsword of course; or betray your employers depending on the circumstances and coins, whatever is most beneficial to you.
Usually, you can find employment from the Merchant, as they come with a free mercenary token already in their pockets, however, in the event that you weren't hired by them, you can find employment in the Keep, serving in their ranks.
To validate a mercenary token, get the contractor to sign it using a feather, after receiving it, deposit it into the nearest mail deposit, it will reward you with 3 triumphs and a special item, depending on your sub-class.
When spawning as the mercenary, you are able to choose from a selection of sub-classes depending on your species, from your regular Grenzelhoft to an Anthrax.

"A barbarian - you're a brute, and you're a long way from home. You took more of a liking to the blade than your elders wanted - in truth, they did not have to even deliberate to banish you. You will drown in ale, and your enemies in blood."
The first single-species only sub-class is the Half-Orc Warrior, who managed to upset their elders and got exiled- For a good reason, for their strength knows no bounds, who can stop them if not for themselves? As they are Half-Orcs, they are ridiculously powerful, and their stats shows.
This sub-class is only available to Half-Orcs.

"Banished from polite society, you once found kin with privateers, working adjacent to a royal navy. After the Red Flag battered itself in the wind one last time, your purse was still not satisfied... And yet he complained that his belly was not full."
Abyssor's warrior, oh how you have fallen from grace. After a tragic fate, the sailor walks among the landlubbers, they are very athletic, as well as having a cutlass. Due to Abyssor's wishes, the Corsair is VERY bad with using anything ranged. And you can fish, I guess.

"A shady guardian of the Black Oaks, a mercenary band in all but official name. Commonly taking caravan contracts through the thickest of forests."
A unique sub-class only to Elves, as well as the unique instance of Elves helping people only after a large sum is extorted, the Guardian is a very good all-round melee sub-class, however lacks in any other skill, testament to their behavior of dependency on others despite being egostistical.
This sub-class is only available to Elves and Dark Elves.

""With the brutal dismantlement of drow society, the talents of the redeemed Anthraxi were no longer needed. Yet where one door closes, another opens - the decadent mortals of the overworld clamber over each other to bid for your blade. Show them your craft."
With the fortunate destruction of the hellscape that is the drow society, the brutal and outright savage sadists that are the Anthraxi were finally kicked out, however, their skills were still sought after by others. They are perhaps one of the most unique sub-classes in the mercenary role, their playing style completely seperated with genders. Fucking sadists.
This sub-class is only available to Dark Elves.
