Verina Heck

Verina is a 35-year-old orc of the Alfaxmos Imperium and is niece to Field Marshal Heck.

History
Verina enrolled in and passed Alfaxmos basic training at a young age and has been a runner for the military for some time.

In her early years, she went MIA for a short period of time and several months later returned, withdrawn and distant. No one knows what happened during her absence, but was never charged with abandoning her post. Having uncles in high places has its advantages.

During her later runner years, she grew a passion of breeding massive hounds. Many say they're dire wolves, but they are strangely friendly to be such savage beasts.

Characteristics
Verina's loyal friend Dog is always at her side, or nearby watching her back. Dog is surprisingly intelligent and it a great asset on the battlefield.

Verina herself is a towering green woman of impressive strength. She is a master of the bow and seems to understand any beast she looks upon.

Post-Coalition War
Verina, and her dire wolf companion Dog, have remained active members of the Knights Vanguard, acting as scout, field agent, and animal specialist. She has remained a steadfast and stoic member of the guard and travels far and wide where their support is needed most. Verina is never far from her husband Billy Ray, who is a fellow master pathfinder.

Verina does her best to keep an eye on her son Gerrand, but he has grown into a capable moral compass to all around him. This has allowed her to focus on her exotic zoo in Tanis that is slowly filling with worldwide oddities.
