Hortense Ingalsbee

Hortense Ingalsbee is a wealthy Byzantium citizen found near the entrance to the Halcyon Holdings Corporation.
==Background==
Hortense has her wealth traced back to her grandfather, who worked as the CIO (Chief Idea Officer) for the Tile corporation. She considers herself having earned her place as a successful woman due to this inherited sum and looks down on anyone with few possessions, thinking of them as "vagrants".
Some of the other residents of Byzantium do not think highly of her, calling her a "tiresome creature" and saying she always sat on her bench judging others.Ambient conversation between two Wealthy Citizens if Hortense was lied to during Why Call Them Back From Retirement?, Byzantium She is also known among the guards for her griping and criticism.Ambient conversation between two Corporate soldiers if Hortense was lied to during Why Call Them Back From Retirement?, Byzantium
==Player interactions==
Ingalsbee can be first encountered in the way to Halcyon Holdings Corporation, arguing with a guard over the type of people being allowed into Byzantium. Talking with her, she will voice her frustration at the Early Retirement program the city is offering. If the player takes up her offer to investigate the district, the quest Why Call Them Back From Retirement? will begin.
Upon returning from the task, the player can either relay to her the true gruesome nature of the program, which will make her relieved at not missing out on any luxuries, or lie and encourage her to try out the program for herself, in which her deceased corpse can be found in the kill chamber upon revisiting the Retirement District.
