Character · Book 5, The Butcher's Masquerade

Eva Sigrid

Katia's friend from the university in Reykjavik — an economics professor who ate lunch with her — who went into the dungeon with her, stabbed the man who grabbed her by the arm — he died of it — and joined Brynhild's Daughters. A half-Nagini, half-orc Nimblefoot Enforcer with four arms, two sabers and skulls for thirteen kills by the fourth floor; Hekla's lieutenant, and a former patient of hers.

Arc

Ninth on the leaderboard and Katia's cold promise (ch. 8); untrackable by magic, glamouring a town's NPCs, cornered (ch. 21); with Team Cichociemni (ch. 36); abandoned by her own team and escaped again (ch. 51). She steals the boudoir's potions and gloats (ch. 66): a Nimblefoot Enforcer at level 55, a stump where her top-left hand was, a museum breastplate, over fifty skulls and four hunter marks, needling Katia about Fannar (ch. 67). She confers with Vrah and waits by the exit with an escape ring (ch. 72, ch. 73). Bitten by a dinosaur — she stole the repellant and never drank any — she is dug out by Katia and dies apologising, afraid, and with her last hand puts the Crown of the Sepsis Whore on her killer's head (ch. 77, epilogue).
