Bravos are a type of young swordsmen commonly found in the Free Cities who wish to prove their skills.
It is said amongst the Braavosi that the night belongs to bravos and courtesans. When night falls, good citizens of Braavos retreat indoors, closing shutters and barring doors. Bravos swagger through Braavos in party-colored finery, looking to pick fights and prove their skills. Most will fight with little cause, and some with no cause at all. Anyone carrying a sword after dark in Braavos can be challenged to a duel. Simply placing a finger on your sword while facing a bravo is akin to challenging them. [1]
The bravos fight from a sideways stance with weapon extended. They use slender swords that are edged and balanced for the thrust.
