Gray-haired, all of five feet tall, and in her mid-50s, Rhea Ingull isn't what most people expect of an Ebon Vanguard warrior, especially in plainclothes and with her scars covered by a mesmer illusion. It's an open secret that she's the bastard daughter of the head of House Ingull, one of Ebonhawke's most influential noble families, who left home and joined the Vanguard when the birth of her legitimate half-brother meant she'd never see a scrap of inheritance. In her youth she was a metaphorical as well as literal firebrand, who won renown by killing the old Ash Legion imperator in a gambit so risky it could accurately be called a suicide mission. She lost an eye and gained a streak of white hair thanks to Malice Swordshadow, a tribune at the time, but came out alive and with the new nickname of the Badger thanks to her stocky build and sheer determination. It's the Old Badger now, much to her chagrin, and her reputation has shifted to that of a brutally intelligent and ruthless tactician. She likely saved Ebonhawke multiple times in the decade of so before the peace treaty, simply by out-thinking Bangar's brutal offensives and being willing to do whatever was needed for the sake of her city. After losing her lower right leg, she has officially retired, but that hasn't stopped Commander Samuelsson from bringing her in for "unofficial counseling," and Ebonhawke understands that should the city be under siege again, she'll be there drafting the war plans.

This decorated and brutal military history is balanced by a shockingly maternal outside life. Unable or unwilling to have biological children, Rhea has instead adopted a veritable menagerie of kids - a norn she found on the streets, Loretta, a runaway sylvari daughter, and an abandoned asura son. She loves all her children dearly and raised them kindly, even if they did learn basic combat techniques alongside their ABCs. Most strangers who meet her outside of the military think of her as a kind old lady - those in the know see her as the embodiment of the warrior-poet: speaking several languages, possessed of a great knowledge of literature and music thanks to her noble upbringing, and sometimes a little too wrapped up in the philosophy around war and death. She keeps herself sharp and presentable at all times, and whether it's navigating high society as a captain or cursing out new recruits as a drill sergeant, she always carries herself with intention. She was married once, before her husband succumbed to alcoholism, and now she lives with her younger children and the one living member of her old squad, Captain Phillips. History will remember the two of them as brothers in arms, or very good friends.

Rhea also had one other adopted child a long time ago, Laurel, who went missing in action and is now presumed dead. Whether her first daughter's death was her own fault depends on how you see it, and maybe more importantly, who you ask.
