Slavehunter

Overview

The Slavehunter is a professional tracker and bounty-hunter working for the SlaveLords. It is not a well-liked occupation and is undertaken normally by fallen Rangers or skilled Hunters. The scarcity of willing recruits makes the presence of individuals with Ranger-backgrounds well-treated in the Slavelord areas - as they are constantly seeking new recruits to aid in bringing back escaped slaves.
