Before you became an adventurer, your life was already full of conflict and excitement, because you made a living tracking down people for pay. When you don't have a quarry to hunt, you seek out places and events that routinely test your skills and survival instincts. What’s more, your skills have garnered you a small but noticeable reputation.

You've wandered the wilds, the settlements, and the metropolises for your prey, unwilling to let any terrain or obstacle prevent you from bringing in your quarry. Your training has been focused, but now it's time to expand your horizons. Perhaps a new assignment or some escaped quarry is what drives you beyond your usual hunting grounds or maybe there is an old, or even new, set of skills or teachers you seek. Regardless of your reasons, you feel you are ready to face bigger challenges.
