The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Bounty Hunter
Bounty Hunters hunt others for pay. Often this takes a cold, calculating individual
with no care for another's wellbeing, or they can be those with a thirst for justice.
Both are relentless hounds, who will not stop until they have their prey, be it a wanted
criminal, elusive outlaw, runaway slave, or the lover of a nobleman's wife.
Many start life as debt collectors, forcibly recovering borrowed money before moving
onto to recovering people - a far more lucrative endeavor.
A few however become Fixers, preferring to eschew violence where they can, and
instead use coercion and blackmail to resolve problems for their employers.
