Ilsa Rommel Jürgen

**Ilsa Rommel** **Jürgen** was the captain of a seafaring, conquering, Steampunk-style airship over Northern Africa, and leader on the ship with European prisoners and Berber people from rural regions as slaves under her rule as along with Koros and his young brother Viro who fought on British forces in Northern Africa. Ilsa ruled her vessel with an iron fist and used her power on campaign of destruction and plundering other kingdoms across the world before her ultimate demise.

## History

It is currently unknown how she rose to power and gained captaincy of the bigger zeppelin. She personally led troops to capture Spear and company, in the process. She held both Spear and Fang at an advantage by threatening to destroy another of Fang's eggs, Spear only calmed her down for the sake of the child, forcing them to do her bidding by fighting. ("The Colossaeus, Part I")

As time passes, the Queen manages to invade several lands with Spear, Fang, and Kamau's reluctant assistance. Numerous innocent people are decimated, kingdoms are destroyed, their leaders executed, and many valuable treasures are taken. During her invasions, Spear discovers that the Queen is forcing Kamau to act as her soldier just to protect his young daughter. At some point, the Colossaeus takes on a Philistine fleet that attempts to raid the warship. After sinking the Philistine ship and capturing their leader, the Queen spends time watching her dancers in her throne room and expects Mira to do so. However, when Mira does not, the Queen gives her a violent demonstration as she murders the captive leader through her dance moves and Mira proceeds to dance for the Queen.

One day, the Queen docks the ship at a territory where another tribe is located. A member of the tribe calmly welcomes her and offers her his people's food as peace offering and tribute from the tribe. But the Queen shows no interest in the peace offering and orders Kamau to exterminate the tribe. He refuses at first, but the Queen threatens to harm his daughter unless he obeys. Left with no other choice, Kamau reluctantly slaughters the tribesman and attacks the entire tribe with his brute strength. No longer able to stand the Queen's evil tyranny anymore, Spear decides that it is time that he and his friends escape the Colossaeus.

During the night, one of the Queen's guards comes down to feed the prisoners pieces of meat. But Spear knocks out the guard, takes the keys, and unlocks his and Kamau's cells. Fang wished to go too, but Spear convinces her to wait. Spear gives Kamau the chance to escape, but he does not since the Queen still has his daughter. Spear proceeds to climb all the way to the top of the Queen's throne room to rescue Mira, Kamau's daughter, and Fang's eggs. Unfortunately, he is caught by one of the Queen's slaves as he scares her. Spear fends off the guards and engages the Queen in combat. As Spear fights off the Queen, Mira and Kamau's daughter take the eggs and head for the door. When the Queen catches them and goes to kill them, Spear thrashes her and fends off the guards, allowing the two to rush down the stairs. Suddenly, the eggs unexpectedly hatch and both hatchlings let out a cry for their mother. Fang, hearing her new offspring's cries, breaks out of the dungeons and rushes to their aid, leaving Kamau confused. The Queen corners the group and takes the hatchlings hostage while one of the guards captures Kamau's daughter. With everyone completely outnumbered, she forces everyone to surrender their respective children to her, while looking expectantly at Kamau. ("The Colossaeus, Part II")

The next day, she has Spear, Mira, and Fang in line to be executed; Kamau is ordered to carry out the execution while she holds his daughter and Fang's offspring hostage. Kamau was hesitant to do it at first. However, having remembered the first time he was held back upon the first time the Queen to his daughter hostage, he cuts Fang free instead. The Queen was outraged at Kamau's betrayal and goes to kill his daughter. But Kamau saves her by flinging her backwards. Spear and Mira break free from their bondage and join the battle for freedom. The Queen attempts to kill Fang with cannonballs and crossbows but is challenged by Spear. Though the Queen gained the upper hand by slashing him, Spear still managed to hold his own against her. But during the battle, one of Fang's offspring got injured by one of the Queen's guards. Spear and Mira saved them by jumping overboard alongside while calling off the battle with the Queen. They managed to find refuge in another boat that carried slaves, much to the Queen's chagrin. Meanwhile, Kamau and his daughter manage to find the captured villagers and free them. Having lost many of her soldiers, the Queen grew so angry that she decided to take them all down herself. But she is cornered by Kamau and his villagers. She attempts to fight him herself, but she was vulnerable against him due to his massive size and endurance. Kamau grabs the Queen and then throws her off the ship, sending her crashing into the boat Spear, Mira, Fang, and her offspring are in, instantly killing her and leaving her broken, bloodied corpse on the floor of the vessel. ("The Colossaeus, Part III")

## Abilities

* **Intelligence:** The Queen demonstrates craftiness and cunning, both by improvising a hostage-taking of Fang's progeny when she realizes her forces are about to be overwhelmed and instantly recognizing a golden opportunity in the trio when her ship encountered them in the first place.
* **Combat Proficiency:** Despite her regal status, the Queen has shown herself to be an exceptional fighter. She relies on speed and precision, which allows her to outmatch larger opponents like Spear.
