Info
Lore/Backstory: General Gwen Redfern was once a member of the British military before defecting to America and becoming an agent for Project Freelancer. She's known as "the Mad General" by many and has been seen fighting alongside both sides during World War III. Though she claims not to be affiliated with any specific faction, it seems likely that her loyalties lie somewhere between the Allied Powers and the Resistance. Despite being one of the most powerful operatives in the world, she still hasn't been able to defeat the Reapers—something she blames on their refusal to kill. Her actions have earned her the ire of many factions throughout the galaxy. Many consider her a traitor; others see her as someone brave enough to stand up against the Reapers' tyranny. She's become infamous for her willingness to use human sacrifice as a means of rallying troops or as an unconventional weapon—a tactic that led to some of the bloodiest battles in history. Gwen was born into nobility but grew up poor. As such, she was forced to work long hours at a young age to help support her family. In her teenage years, she became involved in a rebel movement whose goal was to overthrow the corrupt government and establish a better system of governance for the people. One day while Gwen was out gathering food supplies for the resistance, she was ambushed by a group of soldiers loyal to the government. They took her hostage and demanded that she reveal the location of the rebels' headquarters. When she refused, they opened fire. The bullets only grazed her skin, however. Somehow, every bullet struck the ground around her feet instead of penetrating her flesh. She fought back and managed to escape the ambush. Afterward, she learned that the soldiers had been using a new type of experimental technology, which allowed them to fire nearly impossible-to-stop rounds with pinpoint accuracy. Gwen decided to try it herself and found that she could shoot down enemy aircraft without even aiming. It wasn't long before Gwen realized that she'd discovered something much greater than a mere weapon: a new way to fight. Soon after, she joined the military to learn more about this new form of combat. During the war, Gwen gained the rank of colonel and continued to hone her skills as an operative. During a mission to investigate possible Reaper activity, Gwen found herself caught in a brutal battle with aliens. She was badly injured and barely escaped the encounter alive. While recovering from her wounds, she came across a mysterious alien artifact that seemed to provide her with superhuman abilities. This discovery rekindled her interest in the war against the Reapers, though she still didn't know whether humans were on the right side of the conflict. After some time, a series of events thrust Gwen into the spotlight. First, she was given command of an elite special forces unit called Task Force 47.
