Volga Fjorgan
MajorAlso known as: Volga
A lean young Obsidian woman stands six and a half feet tall with a deceptively stunted build for her caste, featuring broad powerful shoulders, massive mitt-like hands, and an immense bulk that can eclipse light or haul grown adults like pillows. Her smooth unweathered face shows clear sloping cheekbones, big mopey eyes that swell with tears or darken with rage, a wide nose that flares in anger, full big lips, and a mangled smile of second-rate teeth, all conveying a puppyish gentleness beneath her giant frame. She wears black neoPlast suits for stealth or military chestplates and helmets for combat, moving silently despite her size whether hunching sheepishly in a booth, twirling an umbrella in massive fingers, or standing as an imposing bulwark with arms crossed like barricades.
Volga Fjorgan first appears in Iron Gold as a lean, six-and-a-half-foot Obsidian whose massive frame and powerful shoulders belie a puppyish gentleness conveyed through her mopey eyes and mangled smile. By Dark Age her physique has hardened into bear-like proportions, with knotted limbs, frazzled white hair, and a feral presence that lets her lift grown men one-handed while still offering gentle smiles to smaller companions. Across the books her role shifts from devoted personal companion to Ephraim ti Horn to professional mercenary under his command, yet her fierce loyalty remains constant even as missions grow deadlier and moral tensions test their bond.

She wears black neoPlast suits for stealth or military chestplates and helmets for combat, moving silently despite her size whether hunching sheepishly in a booth, twirling an umbrella in massive fingers, or standing as an imposing bulwark with arms crossed like barricades. A towering woman of exceptional height, standing at least two hands taller than the tallest Gray, with a massively muscular build where her arms and legs look like knotted trees, her pale calves thicker than most thighs and corded with dense muscle and thin white hair. Her huge head of frazzled white hair looks one part tragic and one part feral, framing a face that can smile with surprising gentleness as she looks down at smaller companions. She moves with bear-like power and strength, able to lift men by the collar with one hand while holding a rifle like a pistol in the other, usually wearing a utilitarian jumpsuit that is often stretched or damaged from her immense frame.
