 The Mercenary background often appeals to those with a history of violence, hardship, or self-reliance. Whether you once served a noble house, fought in countless wars, or have lived a life as a lone wolf, the Mercenary is the product of that experience---a fighter who values strength, freedom, and survival. Their past may be filled with blood and betrayal, but it also makes them indispensable to those who need someone capable of walking the fine line between ally and adversary.
