A Mercenary is a class of soldiers that use swords only. They tend toward balanced statistics, although they generally have low resistance. Their defense is usually higher than a Myrmidon, but they may not be as fast. They have very high Skill and decent Strength, along with better HP than the Myrmidon. Some Mercenaries suffer from low Luck though.

Critical animation of a mercenary
Mercenaries are some of the most powerful fighters you can have on the field since in most cases they can deal lots of damage while being able to take a few hits as well. Their one problem is that once they are surrounded by enemies, they can't leave the battlefield since their Movement is average. However, a high-level Mercenary can dispatch hordes of axe users with ease, and even stand a chance of avoiding lance and sword attacks. They will more often than not strike their target, and score a few Critical Hits due to their high Skill.

[edit] Trivia

It is possible that the mercenary's Critical Hit animation from Fuin no Tsurugi, Rekka no Ken and Sacred Stones was the inspiration for Ike's Aether technique. It is also possible that in Radiant Dawn, Ike classed up from a Mercenary to a Hero.
