Athena Maxwell

Athena Maxwell was one of the toughest female warriors in all of Avalon. During the Era of Strife, even in her golden years, she took to the battlefield in stride. She was a extremely confident and proud woman. She stuck to the values that kept the Maxwell family so strong. She was initially against the alliance with the Wanderers but listened to what they had to say and eventually was convinced by her Son, Thanium that it was the right thing to do.

Athena was not native to the Maxwells. She married Dadvom Maxwell only after besting him in combat. She grew up in Pondshire, a small fishing village just north of Fieldmont and it was there where she learned how to fight. Allegedly and confirmed by many she acquired her marred face by fighting off a lion with her bare hands in defense of her son Thanium. This same ferocity would carry over in her military career with the family. She would fight to her last ounce of breath and blood to make sure everyone under her command was safe.

Compacted with her extreme combat prowess, tactical mind, love for family and life, she's said to have had the lowest casualty rate of any commanding officer in all of Avalon's history.

She died fighting to protect her home one last time. During a skirmish with some of the southern orcs that had breached the mountains that crest into the uncharted lands. Her and a small platoon of men were sent out from the Peacekeeper Citadel to protect and aid the Coalbreakers in their defense. It's said that she locked swords with Cestus Crimsonskull and was unable to match his might. However she held strong, in making sure that the forces could repel the invaders. Her body gave out only when victory was assured.
