In Spanish would be probably "matón"; something like "espadachin" (swordfighter) mixed with and "asesino a sueldo" (contract killer). But assassin is not good enough.
By the way, not mercenary as Alatriste was always a soldier (except when doing jobs on the side) in the Spanish Tercios and Malatesta was never a soldier or mercenary.
