Subo is a Bounty Hunter and a member of the Mercenaries of the Pale Hand, who used to work closely with Raheir.
Raheir was supposed to join Subo with a mission but due to the events that took place at Gea Kul, which led to you joining instead and later recruiting Subo to The Den.
Subo deals in causing mayhem to your enemies, setting up traps for crowd control, and dealing high amounts of damage with incendiaries, explosives, and powerful shots.
How To Unlock Subo the Bounty Hunter?
Once you have unlocked The Mercenary Den by completing The Hand Remembers the Blade (Quest), you will find a Muddy Letter around the western part of The Den.
Interacting with the Muddy Letter will start a quest called A Feather on the Scale, which you may complete to unlock Subo.
