Mercenary Captain

(image)

Unlike regulary army captain, whose authority rests on the military regulations, mercenary captain is more like bandit leader - he is just a chief of the company, and his subordinates don't stand in front of him at attention. But even mercenaries understand the importance of discipline on the battlefield, so the contract that they conclude when joining the company usually allows the captain to kill deserters and those, who disobey orders during the battle, on the spot. Such power is not possessed even by the king neither by pirate captains - it's not surprising that the result is the exceptional organization of mercenary companies on the battlefield.
