Concealed behind a terrifying slit-visored metal mask, this dual-wielding warrior is a master of close-quarters combat. Clad in a mix of scale mail and plate armor, he represents a formidable threat as either a high-level mercenary or a ruthless bandit captain for your next tabletop campaign.
A heavily armored mercenary or bandit leader stands his ground, silently challenging intruders to pass him.
Ideal as a mid-dungeon mini-boss, a specialized mercenary captain, or an elite guard within a criminal syndicate.
