Mercenary Veterans are Orcs encountered throughout Wrothgar and the Reach. Defeating one of them in combat will grant you the One Last Brawl achievement.

When they reach approximately 1000 Health, they will stop fighting, bow their heads and wait for you to land the killing blow. You must kill them to receive the achievement; bringing their health down to the point where they cease fighting will not count towards achievement progress.

There are three different kinds of Mercenary Veterans: one with heavy armor bearing a sword and shield, one in medium armor wielding a single sword, and one in medium armor wielding dual-weapons.
