The Red Mercenary was a sword-wielding mercenary whom, along with his comrades, often seemed to cross paths with Kyril and his group during their investigations into Rune Cannons in the year 309. After being defeated a total of six times by Kyril's group, the Mercenary Leader sent a letter of challenge to Kyril, via the Middleport Quest Guild, in order to prove who was the stronger group once and for all. Following yet another defeat, the Red Mercenary joined Kyril's group at the behest of his leader.
