Referring to the real life terms, Mercenaries are basically soldiers for hire. The companies they work for are called PMCs (Private Military Companies). Organizations like Blackwater or DynCorp. (modern day) train, equip, and hand out contracts to the Mercs. The Mercenary has been used throughout history and even ancient Egypt. These soldiers for hire are hired by military persons to do things regular military personnel aren't allowed to do like, Assassination Kidnapping, Torture, Murder in cold blood, Murder of Citizens, Interrogation w/ deadly force etc. etc. Mercenaries are on no ones side... They take the contract, do the mission, collect the money, and continue the process. Its a good living if you want those things on your conscience.
