Making sure I am interpreting the initial info dump correctly, our characters would be part of the Red Wraiths. That group is also a bit of a mercenary group as well yes?

Yes, we will be part of the Red Wraiths.
They're somewhat similar to a mercenary group, I suppose, in that they're a non-militarized group of "fighters" that doesn't really owe loyalty to any specific person/group. And they dont specifically aid people for money, though some within the Red Wraiths may. They aren't strictly directed so some people would probably take advantage of the position. But ye, you interpret correctly :P
