Mercenary was aggressive and annoying from his inception. He nettled quite a few people by not paying them any respect even when he was 5th level. One of the guildmasters killed Merc basically as soon as he clanned. Mercenary gave respect to no one, unless they earned it from him personally. Being a high level or having someone who he didn't know respect them didn't mean anything to him.

He and Revenant shared a common background, actually being from near each other in Arabia. Revenant was bitter and filled with hatred for all things, however, while Mercenary was, well, mercenary. He was always more interested in a gold coin than honor or glory. He owed his life to Revenant from early on, and the two were together much, though as often as not, Mercenary was shaking his head and gritting his teeth at some of Revenant's most vitriolic acts. Mercenary never criticized Revenant, and usually stood up for him.

When Mercenary was younger, he took offense easily. He would be rude or snide on chat, and if someone called him on it, bully them until they either backed down or they fought.

Mercenary killed very few people when he was young, perhaps only three or four while he and Revenant were packing together. It was misperception that made people believe there was more. However, he managed to anger a great many people, to the point where a pack came after him and multikilled him.

Mercenary started keeping track of his fights, and taking commissions. The commission would either be to kill someone once, or to obtain one item from someone. He would not allow the corpse to be looted once he slew them, and did his best to punish anyone who attacked someone he'd just slain before they recovered.
