An Imperial mercenary hero
Mercenary Heroes are fortune hunters, desperadoes and adventurers of the kind naturally attracted to wars and opportunity.[1a][1b]
Mercenary heroes are usually Human. This is pretty much always the case in the lands of Tilea. Even in foreign parts, the "Human spirit" tends to dominate amongst mercenary armies.[1a] Northern barbarians are especially keen on his sort of career, possibly because their homelands are so cold and bleak.[1b]
Being the sorts of place it is, every barbarian and farm lad with heroic pretensions heads to Tilea to make his fortune. Fortunately for everyone concerned most come to a bad end very quickly, but one or two inevitably survive and become heroic if not near legendary figures of the kind that keep troubadours warbling and strumming away long into the evening. So it is that heroes for hire can be found in all mercenary armies.[1a]
