A separate caste of people.
To become the executioners was very difficult.
For wrong executions hangman could tear the crowd and no one would have even tried.

The executioner, his family and servants lived outside the city, they bring products directly to the house and the servants could only pay for the goods, because no trader would not take "dirty money" from the hands of the executioner.
