Vixen Hotfur: (b. 950 AH) Third child of Field Marshal Vulpinus Hotfur, commander of the Third Royal Legion of Ganth and Lady Isadore. Two elder brothers: Velox Hotfur (945), Valen Hotfur (946).
In 966 Isadore betrayed her husband Vulpinus to her lover, the Marshal of Ganth, Myrm Ironglove, who overthrew and slaughtered the royal family. The Third Legion remained loyal to the crown and fought bravely, but was eventually crushed. Vixen's brothers were killed in the conflict. Her father Vulpinus was executed as a traitor on Ironglove's personal orders. Vixen, then 17, escaped into neighboring Orphalia, leading the remnants of the Third Royal Legion, which became the core of her freesword mercenary unit, Fox Company. In subsequent years Fox Company fought in campaigns in all the major kingdoms. Vixen's reputation both as an individual fighter and as a commander grew and she became known as the She-Fox.
Notable campaigns of Fox Company included service in northern Orphalia, protecting the kingdom against the monster hordes of the Incredibly Dark Forest and the Bitterspleen Hills. Vixen left Orphalian service after rejecting the unwanted advances of Prince Halogen, heir to the throne. She gave him a black eye. He revenged himself by spreading lies and false charges about her. Shortly afterward, Vixen and her company enlisted in the army of Raelna, newly reorganized under Queen Raella along professional rather than traditional feudal lines. By 985, Vixen had so impressed the queen that she was commissioned a general and made Commander of the Army of the Longwash. In 990 AH, Hotfur was appointed Captain General of Raelna, and Marshal of the Realm, with overall command of the full Army of Raelna.
