Mercenary/Rouge Warriors/Assassins

These is a soldier who hires out their services to the highest bidder. Most are professionals with some experience in fighting, or special skill. Some fighting men or exiles who run out of money become sellswords. Practice mainly started after the time of peace after the great war. Mercs are often viewed negatively by others, with some nobles considering them unchivalrous and pitiless. Sellswords have a reputation for being willing to betray anyone for enough gold.[13] Sellswords, pirates, and slavers inhabit the Basilisk Isles. Hiring an army of sellswords is not as expensive as hiring a Faceless Man to kill a merchant. A mounted man who fights for pay could be called either a freerider or a sellsword. Both terms carry a certain stigma in Westeros. Sellswords are said to have no loyalty, and freeriders no discipline.      The Faceless Men are a religious society of assassins who worship the Many-Faced God, a god of death. They are based in the House of Black and White, in the Free City of Braavos,[1] though they claim to have originated in the Valyrian Freehold.[2]   A phrase associated with the cult of the Many-Faced God is valar morghulis, the High Valyrian for "All men must die". The traditional response to this is valar dohaeris, or "All men must serve."
