Mercenaries and Assassins
"To be a sell-sword is to sell your body and your skills for money. Some of us can afford to be choosy with our clients. Some of us can't. To be a mercenary is to know that you are expendable. You are only worth to a client what they are paying to you. The more work you do, the more you are worth. The better a job you do, the more you are worth.
The longer you stay alive, the more valuable you are, to both guild and client.
A mercenary is often asked to do things that go against his instincts. A good merc knows how to follow orders and how to countermand them. He knows when to bargain and when to simply accept what is given. He knows when a situation is not worth the price he is being paid and when to take the wise option of retreating.
We are hired to work, not to die or to be fools, and we know well when we've been crossed. Curses fall on the man who angers a mercenary."
