Advisor

The Advisor is a high rank member of the Lancer Council tasked with aiding the leaders of the Iron Division's castes with strategic decision making. She not only serves as the voice of the Council, but also as an overseer, making sure that the other leaders fall in line with the will of the Lancers and respect the oath to protect Valc and the Crystal Heart. She was assigned to the Iron Division campaign against the Demons, although her efforts in giving council to the orc warlords proved to be ultimately ineffective, culminating with a staggering defeat.

*"The campaign was a disaster... failed siege, subverted Forge Elementals, cutoff logistics... no retreat, no way forward.*

*Demons laughed at our forces from behind their walls. So many of our sisters have fallen to their artillery..."*

As a tactician stationed just behind the siege line, she was able to retreat and regroup with the other survivors after the massacre. Unwilling to accept defeat, she joined the new command along with Warlord Grund and Grand Earth Mother Breaza and conducted an organized retreat. This resulted in the Iron Division remnants and their allies entrenching in a new position from which they prepared another attempt to penetrate the demonic frontier.

*"We've managed to regroup here. I'd almost say we have retreated if we weren't still in the middle of enemy territory."*

After Zan reaches the camp, she summons Minotaur Lord Murguth, Eraanthe and High Priest Jaromir and helps Breaza present them their final strategy in regards to the Demons. Knowing that they can't hold forever, she urges the remnants to make use of their small force and launch a fast surgical attack through the nearby Demon Port Town and use the ships to reach the Core of Hell and slay the Blue Baron.

*"Now we are a mouse, trying to bring down a mammoth. All we need is to find the right crack to slip through."*

*"Even the weakest warg is dangerous when cornered... yes... a small force could reach farther than an army..."*

With Warlord Grund busy interrogating prisoners, she continues to counsel Breaza while Zan helps the remnants by conquering surrounding Cultist positions. After the Halfblood secures the Cult Fortress and rescues the imprisoned orcs, the Advisor orders a full intelligence search which informs them about an upcoming meeting between the Blue Baron and Nithriel at the nearby Demon Port Town.

*"With the forest group missing, our flank is exposed. Act quickly, Halfblood. Act with tact."*

*"[...] With that path cleared we can make another attempt at sending a messenger to Valc. I will order the girls to secure the fortress and search it for any strategic information as well."*

This enforces her plan to launch a last ditch attack on the demonic town and she convinces Breaza to send Zan to clear out a demonic supply depot inside the Minotaur Town close to the camp in order to secure a large enough quantity of hell powder to sabotage the town's gate and defenses.

*"This is where you come in, sergeant. We need you to secure the depot. [...]"*

*"The enemy isn't expecting you, so this should be a safer task, sergeant. Still, keep your guard up."*

The information regarding the Minotaur Town depot proves to be incomplete, with Zan stumbling upon an entire heavily guarded demonic factory while infiltrating the ruins.

Once the hell powder is secured and Captain Dura arrives at the camp with reinforcements from Valc, the Advisor plans the final details of the assault along with Warlord Grund and Witch Chieftain Zura.

*"As you have noticed, the Valc forces have finally arrived, and we're preparing for the main assault. A few hours ago, we've sent a sapper team to prepare the sabotage of the flame towers warding the enemy gates. They headed out to the mines to the north, in search of an ideal place to tunnel around the demon town."*

Following the half-successful assault, she boards the late ship destined for the Core of Hell, where she resumes her usual role, aiding Warlord Grund to devise a plan to siege the Baron's Citadel with a heavily outnumbered and poorly supplied force. She also compiles intelligence in order to draft a map of the Core of Hell, estimating the locations of the Demon Primarch shrines in order to help Zan find them.

Despite appearing aloof and always lost in thought, the Advisor proves her social tact, deflating the occasional tension between briefing participants by redirecting attention towards the pressing matters at hand. She prevents altercations between Lord Murguth and Jaromir (while discussing the Demons' theft of crystal technology) or between Breaza and Zura (when debating the best use for the Seed of Corruption).

*"Jaromir is right, we've no time for remorse now. I'll send a team to inspect this infernal factory..."*

*"Regardless of what we'll do with it, we have other matters pressing us right now, ladies."*

Most importantly, she cuts off one of Grund's outbursts during her briefing with Zan before the final attack on the Baron's Citadel.

After the Baron's defeat, the Advisor returns to Valc, rejoining the remaining members of the Lancer Council and discussing the future of their caste and of the Iron Division.
