Being a mercenary does not make me a monster. There are others who don't live by any code, but they are only hired by the most desperate -- or the most vengeful. I had been with Otin's Pack for ten years, and we had served with loyalty and honesty. We chose our sides carefully, and more than once, Otin turned down the promise of higher payment rather than blacken our history.
In the now legendary battle of Ytuo, we didn't change sides in the heat of the conflict.
To this day, we are the king's most trusted guards. And the richest.
