The Old World: Grim and Perilous

Rat Catcher
A rat catcher is a common sight everywhere in villages, towns, and cities, making
a living by disposing of the vermin that infest all dwellings in this unsanitary age.
Rat catchers are often traveling folk, although in a large town or city, these vermin
soldiers' may actually be employed by the authorities.
So-called Exterminators, the toughest of Rat Catchers, can deal with every creature
lurking in the city sewers, including giant rats, mutants, and sometimes vile ratlike
beastmen—too big and too smart even for brave sewer jacks.
