Characterization - Anarchic Mercenary

I'm in as long as you're feeding me.

A competent, mercenary, go-with-the-flow type who's mostly along for the ride because there might be a free lunch involved.

Their goal is to get paid, leave, and disappear once more to their solitude.

Their desire for freedom borders on the anarchic - they're the sort who might shout "I don't live by society's rules" after being asked to wash their hands in a public bathroom.
