I'm a... [ Witcher. ] hunter, mostly. Independent contractor, sword-for-hire type. If there are beasts out in the desert causing problems, I take care of them. Or hunt them for alchemical ingredients or supplies for armor, weapons, even research or specimens for the university.

Anything people want to hire me for, really. Haven't been too picky.

Merchant caravans or travelers frequently hire guards to accompany them. I've offered my services in such cases many times.
