History:
Ingrid was born the youngest daughter of a clan chief. From the
time she was a young girl, she was taught that all she had to
worry about in life, was learning a woman’s duties, so as to
please her future husband. After all, given who her father was,
she was guaranteed to marry well, and no husband would dare to
mistreat her. However, Ingrid had no desire for a woman’s life
of marriage. Ingrid was fascinated by weapons and fighting. A
woman in her father’s army took pity on her, and under the guise
of teaching Ingrid how to defend herself, taught the young woman
how to fight.
When Ingrid was 15, her father told her, he was arranging her
marriage. To one of her father’s contemporaries, a man Ingrid
had never liked. Knowing it was fruitless to argue, Ingrid used
the training she had been given, and packed that night, and took
the weapons and small armors she had acquired over the years and
fled the settlement. She fled and took up arms, under another
clan chief, far enough away to not have to worry about coming
into combat against her family.
It was with this other clan, Ingrid was able to truly excel.
This new clan lived along the coast. They did a combination of
exploring and trading. Sadly, while they were not a clan that
raided, there were others that did. It was an expedition, that
was supposed to be trading, when they were mistaken for raiders,
where Ingrid was fatally injured. She did help many others
escape back to the long boats, and was on a long boat herself,
when she was gut shot with an arrow. Determined to see the
homeland again, Ingrid manage to hold on, until they reached
home, and then died as they were removing her from the longboat.
When Ingrid awoke it was in the home of one of the clan’s
warrior’s who lived on a farmstead out of the village. It was
in the home of Kanwulf. A man who was one of the best with
sword, and was even better with his ax. Kanwulf told Ingrid
that she was immortal, and offered to teach her. Not that he
told, she needed much instruction, but he would help her improve
her sword play to be up to immortal standards. Ingrid stayed
with Kanwulf for a year, before Kanwulf himself fell to an
injury in battle, and so he could no longer hide Ingrid on his
homestead. He needed to move on, and so did she. They traveled
together until they reached a place to purchase horses and then
went their separate ways.
Though never spending more than a day or two in each other’s
company after that, they were always amicable meetings.
Through the years, Ingrid traveled always searching for new
things. As time progressed it became obvious it was new
technologies that appealed to her. And as even more time
progressed, working for or with governments became the best way
to have access to these technologies.
In the 1950’s, Ingrid got a job working for Sandia National
Laboratories in Las Alamos, New Mexico. At this time they were
doing tests on the after effects of radiation poisoning on
humans. It was during this time, Ingrid managed to test
herself, and found that immortals, appear to be immunned to all
effects of radiation. Which Ingrid felt was just as well.
In the late 1990’s Ingrid joined the Air Force, entering the Air
Force Academy. Ingrid excelled in all physical demands of the
Air Force. She was careful to hold herself back academically.
She didn’t want to draw too much attention to herself, after
all.
In late 2010, Ingrid was transferred, to the post she had aimed
for, since joining the Air Force. Ingrid was transferred to
NORAD, and got the opportunity to work in its central command
area, where she remains…
As an immortal, Ingrid is well known for her dislike of the
game. She avoids the game wherever possible and only fights
when she has no choice. Though when she does, she makes sure to
win.
There is one instance recorded where in 2005, while posted at
Barksdale Air Force base in Louisiana, Ingrid was challenged.
In response, Ingrid pulled out her service arm and shot the
challenging immortal directly in the heart and head. Then left,
without taking the other immortal’s head and returned to base,
which is holy ground, and did not leave the base until she was
transferred else where.
It is suspected by the Watcher’s though not provable, that this
was not the first, nor is it likely that it will be the last
instance in which Ingrid, forcibly backs away from a fight.
