New faction reveal: The Merchant Guild!
Tank Unit - Jay Wakker
Jay Wakker is a former guardsman. He realized that he had no place among idle young soldiers, and the drill of Colonel Karmian and Captain Viatrass bored him. Patrols and marches don't make good money, and the fact that he's one of the most talented solider doesn't affect his income.
The cunning guildmaster Gustav-Graves spotted Jay and offered the vacant place as his bodyguard. Since then, Wakker has been plagued by doubts - on the one hand, good money and no boring military service, on the other, he does not quite agree with the methods of the Merchant Guild. He may have a skull with coins on his shield now, but the crown of the Royal Guard still rests under this paint.
Melee Frontline Unit - Raze-Cut
Raze-Cut is a symbol of the merciless methods of the Merchant Guild and the greed of the guildmaster. Instead of the Royal Guards offered to Gustav-Graves by the king, he bought out a bunch of pirates who were sentenced to be hanged on other islands. Raze-Cut is one of them. A thug convicted of piracy, robbery, and mass murder is now the guildmaster's personal enforcer.
For him, there are no concepts of honor and pity, in general, he is not even very hungry for profit. The main salary for him is unpunished cruelty, the proximity of danger and adrenaline. His family died of typhus, he himself was bought out from the gallows - there is nothing left to lose and he goes his own carnage road.
