Act I Mercenary: The Rogue
The Act I mercenary, the Rogue, can be hired by Kashya in the center of the Rogue Encampment. They fight with bows, and provide ranged support for your character. They cannot wield crossbows or Amazon bows, since they are not Amazons. They don't need arrows to use their bows, so don't worry about supplying a Rogue with them.
The Rogues list of skills is quite short. All Rogues can use the Amazon skill Inner sight, and then may use either Fire arrow or Ice arrow, depending one which you choose to hire. Ice Arrow is usually preferable for the ability to slow down nearby monsters.
Rogues make very useful companions early on in the game, but are not widely used later on. Suggested equipment is a fast bow with high damage and life steal (cold damage is an added bonus).
