A veteran is a living retired soldier enjoying, or at least attempting to enjoy, civilian life. A soldier upon dying, whether before or after retiring, becomes a former soldier.
Typically, a veteran was an active participant in one or more military campaigns. Veterans know all too well the horrors of the battlefield and have the (physical and perhaps also mental) scars to prove it. Retired militarymen are veterans. Strahd von Zarovich is, for example, a veteran.
Veteran may also be used to describe an individual's competence in a violent and dangerous profession. A veteran mercenary, guardsman, or adventurer is experienced and battle-tested. Dr. Rudolph van Richten was, for example, a veteran monster hunter.
