The Mercenary

The mercenary has survived many wars, battles, and skirmishes. He has traveled widely and roamed places in Italy, France, and Germany, always in search of loot, pay, and adventure.

But after his last defeat, he no longer saw a future in fighting as a mercenary and wanted only one thing: to protect his loved ones in his hometown of Lucerne.

The mercenary returned to the city and devoted himself to guarding it, passing on his battle experiences.

He knows the city's old fortifications well and knows where they once stood and what they looked like. Although he's tired of fighting, he always enjoys telling people how the battles went and what weapons or strategies the Swiss mercenaries used.

Unfortunately, the mercenary is addicted to wine and sometimes seems a bit tipsy or emotional when talking about old stories. Nevertheless, there is no braver and more enduring comrade than him!
