Executioner

An executioner is dedicated to a singular purpose, bringing death. To a skilled executioner another life taken is just another coin earned, they do not often dwell on the lives of the corpses they create. Most executioners serve a master, someone to place a coin in their pocket for each death they bring, this master could be a ruler, it could be a religious order, it could be a noble or a guard. Though these masters and their goals may vary, the executioners role remains the same. Whether by a clean cut, a brutal chop, a fatal crunch or a sudden drop, the executioner fulfills their singular purpose.
