Karen Herman was born as the third living child of a poor family in Helm's Deep. As such when she talked about joining the Avernite PDF to fulfill her duty to Avernus she was strongly encouraged to pursue her dream, in large part due to serving with the PDF for a few tours of duty being among the best ways to pull yourself up to the middle class in Avernus. After gaining a scholarship to the Avernus' Officers Academy Karen Herman scored some of the better marks in both tactics and combat in her year and was put though Helltrooper training shortly after graduating.

Lieutenant Karen Herman's first large scale battle was the defence of Dûrandur during the Siege of Svartalfheim, where she distinguished herself as part of the Helltrooper Division tat broke the siege, an act which earned her a promotion to captain. Twenty-five years later as a recently promoted Major Karen Herman was stationed in Gormec with the 73rd Helltrooper's during the 2nd Daemonic Incursion and by the end of the battle found herself leading what remained of her regiment, and several nearby PDF regiments due to heavy losses among the senior officers. In the aftermath of the incursion she was promoted to colonel and given command of the 57th Fair Island PDF Regiment, a position that she struggled with due to her rapid promotion, but still managed to excel due to the sheer effort she put into her duties. Over the next century Karen Herman slowly climbed the ranks, until by the 3rd Daemonic Incursion she was a junior Lieutenant-General in the Avernus' Spine PDF. Despite this between her skilled defense of Gormec and the losses suffered in the Incursion, with much of the regions senior PDF Officers going down with Helm's Deep, she found herself promoted to the Marshal of Avernus' Spine, the third to hld that rank after the legendary General Samanta Khol and the short lived Marshal Lilly Pletcher, who held the rank for less then a year before dying.

Karen Herman is a rather by the books officer, no-nonsense and focused on her duty above all else. This is in large part due to a combination of the importance that she places on duty, and due to the fact that she feels out of place at her current rank and is trying not to mess it up.
