A Mercenary is a type of visitor. They will try to petition for residence in your fort, for the purpose of soldiering. This means that they will be enlisted into your military, and you can add them to a squad. They will then adhere to any orders the squad receives. They will be added to your fort's civilian list as if they were migrants (they will still have their race listed, i.e. "Human Axeman"), but you can't assign labors to them or make them work.

You cannot have a mercenary be the leader of a squad. They will need equipment from your fort, and they will not bring their own armor (although they will of course bring regular clothing).
