History: 
Ingrid was born the youngest daughter of a clan chief.  From the time she was a young girl, she was taught that all she had to worry about in life, was learning a woman’s duties, so as to please her future husband.  After all, given who her father was, she was guaranteed to marry well, and no husband would dare to mistreat her.  However, Ingrid had no desire for a woman’s life of marriage.  Ingrid was fascinated by weapons and fighting.  A woman in her father’s army took pity on her, and under the guise of teaching Ingrid how to defend herself, taught the young woman how to fight.

When Ingrid was 15, her father told her, he was arranging her marriage.  To one of her father’s contemporaries, a man Ingrid had never liked.  Knowing it was fruitless to argue, Ingrid used the training she had been given, and packed that night, and took the weapons and small armors she had acquired over the years and fled the settlement.  She fled and took up arms, under another clan chief, far enough away to not have to worry about coming into combat against her family.

It was with this other clan, Ingrid was able to truly excel.  This new clan lived along the coast.  They did a combination of exploring and trading.  Sadly, while they were not a clan that raided, there were others that did.  It was an expedition, that was supposed to be trading, when they were mistaken for raiders, where Ingrid was fatally injured.  She did help many others escape back to the long boats, and was on a long boat herself, when she was gut shot with an arrow.  Determined to see the homeland again, Ingrid manage to hold on, until they reached home, and then died as they were removing her from the longboat.

When Ingrid awoke it was in the home of one of the clan’s warrior’s who lived on a farmstead out of the village.  It was in the home of Kanwulf.  A man who was one of the best with sword, and was even better with his ax.  Kanwulf told Ingrid that she was immortal, and offered to teach her.  Not that he told, she needed much instruction, but he would help her improve her sword play to be up to immortal standards.  Ingrid stayed with Kanwulf for a year, before Kanwulf himself fell to an injury in battle, and so he could no longer hide Ingrid on his homestead.  He needed to move on, and so did she.  They traveled together until they reached a place to purchase horses and then went their separate ways.

Though never spending more than a day or two in each other’s company after that, they were always amicable meetings.

Through the years, Ingrid traveled always searching for new things.  As time progressed it became obvious it was new technologies that appealed to her.  And as even more time progressed, working for or with governments became the best way to have access to these technologies.

In the 1950’s, Ingrid got a job working for Sandia National Laboratories in Las Alamos, New Mexico.  At this time they were doing tests on the after effects of radiation poisoning on humans.  It was during this time, Ingrid managed to test herself, and found that immortals, appear to be immunned to all effects of radiation.  Which Ingrid felt was just as well.

In the late 1990’s Ingrid joined the Air Force, entering the Air Force Academy.  Ingrid excelled in all physical demands of the Air Force.  She was careful to hold herself back academically.  She didn’t want to draw too much attention to herself, after all.

In late 2010, Ingrid was transferred, to the post she had aimed for, since joining the Air Force.  Ingrid was transferred to NORAD, and got the opportunity to work in its central command area, where she remains…

As an immortal, Ingrid is well known for her dislike of the game.  She avoids the game wherever possible and only fights when she has no choice.  Though when she does, she makes sure to win.

There is one instance recorded where in 2005, while posted at Barksdale Air Force base in Louisiana, Ingrid was challenged.  In response, Ingrid pulled out her service arm and shot the challenging immortal directly in the heart and head.  Then left, without taking the other immortal’s head and returned to base, which is holy ground, and did not leave the base until she was transferred else where.

It is suspected by the Watcher’s though not provable, that this was not the first, nor is it likely that it will be the last instance in which Ingrid, forcibly backs away from a fight.
