Mercenary

Growing up on battlefields, (unit name) joined a mercenary band after losing parents and learned the ruthless laws of survival. Seen as a warrior who would guard anyone for coin, there remained within a longing for home and family lost. When the fighting ended and solitude returned, there was reflection on what had truly been worth protecting.

Drifting from battlefield to battlefield, (unit name) stained the blade with countless foes' blood and watched comrades fall one by one. Survival always came first as a mercenary, yet sometimes familiar faces returned in dreams. Each time, discipline hardened again and emotions were pressed down.

Ready to fight anyone for coin, (unit name) turned even their name into a tool of survival rather than honor. Yet when wars were over, emptiness remained. There was hope that the sword would no longer serve only survival, but instead reclaim honor once lost.
