Bounty Hunter

Bounty Hunters make a living from capturing or eliminating fugitives in return for a listed bounty. The most successful are highly skilled and well armed professionals, the worst little more than a street tough. They are often hired to seek out Infractionists who are too difficult, dangerous, or well connected for local Enforcers to pursue. Some Bounty Hunters are ‘officially’ sanctioned, whether by the Enforcers, Planetary Governors or in rare cases the Adeptus Arbites themselves. Other bounty hunters, unbothered about their source of their income, operate on the edge of what is permitted or well beyond it. As almost anyone with sufficient Askels can hire a Bounty Hunter they are often in competition with one another, sometimes competing for a bounty, sometimes facing off as little more than hired guns. In rare instances a group of Bounty Hunters may form a temporary alliance to take down a particularly tough bounty. The merest rumour of such a group forming is often enough to cause most citizens to hide until the shooting stops.
