Mercenaries are experienced adventurers found by the entrance to the Theatre of Blood. According to Safalaan, they were hired by King Roald under the mercenary protocol enacted during Darkness of Hallowvale. Players speak to them during the quest A Taste of Hope, and sometime during the events of the quest, they enter the Theatre in an attempt to complete it.

The fate of the three mercenaries can be seen within the Theatre. The mage is killed by the Pestilent Bloat, the ranger is trapped by the Nylocas and the warrior has been beheaded and thrown from the tower by Xarpus.
