Biography

With around 50 years of life experience, Ekaterin is young indeed from the perspective of an elf that grew up with her kind. The memories of her family have all but faded. Before even fully grown, she was taken from her family as they
travelled, abducted by the Kolgari and made to be a servant to some rich family. A role, that she had not been suited to and eventually she is sent away to be drafted into the military.

She finds she has a knack for this human way of fighting in heavy armour and with big, hefty swords. Demonstrating also some ability to show responsibility and fight smart, she is made a squad leader quickly, young even by human standards. In the Kolgari army, she feels at home for a time.

But then, her company is sent to take part in the battle for the minotaur capital. Even before the battle, there are rumours amongst the ranks that one of the other companies seems mutinous. It isn't the first time she's heard that, however, and doesn't put much stock in it. But the battle turns into a fiasco when that company does not fulfil their orders and against the original battle plan, part of the enemy's forces is not cut off when that company in question fails to divert part of a river. For herself, engaged in the fighting at that point, it means that she barely manages to get even a fraction of the forces in her charge out alive. Only a handful of the few dozen under her order survive the ordeal.
