Bounty Hunters

Because guards are seldom strong or well-organized enough to deal with Bounty Brothers and mainly take it out on the poor or the most heinous Infamous, the Knaves’ most relentless enemies are Bounty Hunters. These investigators, vigilantes, mercenaries, and persecutors are independent of regional powers, and have made a business out of collecting Bounties: a profession as dangerous as it is profitable, especially if you go after Knaves of a certain caliber. However, Bounty Hunters are subject to the law and don’t have the same privileges as the guards, whose activities are often overlooked or ignored.

Bounty Hunters can come from any background, and belong to any class or race; they can even be former Knaves. They must obtain a special License to operate: all their activities are monitored by the Royal Bounty agency. They can get tip-offs by paying adequately, or negotiate a bargain price for commoners to hand in some wanted person, and then collect the full Bounty from the Kingdom Chancelleries. They are even known to form temporary alliances with Infamous.
