Mercenary

The Mercenary utilizes crushing attacks and deadly cunning to crush their opponent in battle. Typically focused solely on their own survival; the Mercenary is not known for their academic prowess or their political savvy; they were more likely paid to rob or guard the scholars, and protect or assassinate the politicians. A mercenary can come from any sort of background, but common backgrounds include former soldiers (though not often honorably discharged), or bodyguards who failed at their job, or people who are indebted to bigger players in the world and don't know anything else. The Mercenary is certainly capable physically; with years of training by quality teachers in the art of war. The Mercenary is also clever; they know how to pick their fights; press their advantages; utilize the environment. Combining their undeniable martial prowess with their brilliant survival instincts, these hardened gladiators will always find themselves in either rich employment or brutal war. Some people say, "there's no honor without glory." The Mercenary sees it more like "there's no honor in being dead."
