Mercenaries are combatants in military conflicts not associated with government bodies, but fight for personal finacial gain. Typically mercenaries are disinterested in the finer points (moral concerns, ideology and so forth) of a conflict and only fight for those who hire them. Mercenaries normally work in groups to have stronger barganing posistions and for support.
