Character Description

The Advisor is an PMC expert in foreign conflicts. Modern-day mercenaries who are stationed throughout the world fighting conflicts for governments that are reluctant to use their own troops as PMC’s.  Private military contractors offering armies for hire emerged as a powerful stakeholder in the business of war. Governments can outsource compartmentalized jobs to mercenaries or private security contractors, without much international oversight.
