Bravos are young swordsmen of Braavos, who wish to prove their skills.

It's said amongst Braavosi the night belongs to bravos and courtesans, good citizens of Braavos retreat indoors, closing shutters and barring doors, when night falls and rightly so. At night Bravos swagger through Braavos in party-colored finery, looking to pick fights so that they can 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 by a bravo to a duel. So much as placing a finger on your sword while facing a bravo is akin to challenging them. [1]

The bravos fight from a sideways stance, weapon extended, they use slender swords, edged and balanced for the thrust.
