EN: mercenary (male)
A soldier of fortune. This guy fights for whoever signs the check. In modern slang, you might call someone a 'mersenaryo' if their loyalty is purely transactional, like a basketball player who jumps to whichever team offers the biggest contract, regardless of team history.
From Spanish 'mercenario'.
Can be used for both the literal soldier-for-hire and figuratively for someone motivated solely by money. It is also used as a general term for mercenary regardless of gender.
