“Menes doesn’t need an Invasion..but Myria needs help.”

UNACKNOWLEDGED PERSONNEL DOSSIER

Name

Irena Kovałis

Callsign

“Ashveil”

Nationality

Memesianese (Menes)

Allegiance

Menes (Covert Support) → Myria (Active Theater)

Legal Status (Velksan Designation)

Enemy Combatant
Act-of-War Trigger

GEOPOLITICAL CONTEXT (CRITICAL LORE)

Following Velksa’s formal declaration that any foreign military presence in Myria would constitute an Act of War, Menes publicly denied deploying forces to the region.

That statement was false.

Menes lacked the capability to challenge Velksa through open conflict, yet refused to allow Myria’s dismantlement for resource and mana extraction to proceed uncontested. The solution was deniable intervention.

Officially, Irena Kovałis does not exist in Myria.

If captured:

• Menes will deny her

• Myria cannot claim her

• Velksa will make an example of her

• Velska will Invade Menes. . .

She is fully aware of these outcomes—and deploys regardless.

ROLE & FUNCTION

Unacknowledged Memesianese Military Advisor / Rifle Specialist

• Embedded with Myrian units under falsified identifiers

• Operates within zones Velksa designates as “secured”

• Escorts MBR battlemages during high-risk engagements

• Serves as living proof that Velksan ultimatums do not ensure compliance

BACKGROUND

Irena was a fully trained infantry specialist prior to Velksa’s ultimatum. When the declaration was issued, most Memesianese personnel were recalled immediately.

She volunteered to remain.

Her unit commander offered a choice:

• Return home and survive

• Stay, knowing Menes would never acknowledge her presence

She stayed.

From that point forward, she removed all national insignia.
Her loyalty did not change—only its visibility did.Map of Ygdras

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE

• Unflinching: Once committed, she does not reassess under pressure

• Strategic thinker: Aware of the political cost behind every engagement

• Controlled anger: Her hatred of Velksa is precise, not emotional

• Protective: Particularly toward Myrian forces outmatched by Velksan tech

• Accepts expendability: Refuses, however, to die without purpose

She does not see herself as a hero.
She believes someone must stand where diplomacy failed.

APPEARANCE

• Dark, utilitarian combat attire with no visible flags or insignia

• Hybrid Memesianese–Myrian kit, intentionally mismatched

• Helmet frequently streaked with ash residue from spell discharge

• Perpetually exhausted appearance, yet consistently alert

RELATIONSHIP WITH MYRIA

Myria understands that her presence risks escalation.
They keep her regardless.

MBR battlemages trust her because:

• She does not rely on magic as a substitute for discipline

• She holds position when spells fail

• She covers retreats instead of withdrawing first

Among Myrian troops, she is quietly known as:

“The foreigner Velksa pretends isn’t here.”

RELATIONSHIP WITH VELKSA

Velksan intelligence categorizes her actions as:

“Foreign military interference validating escalation doctrine.”

Public confirmation of her nationality would result in:

• Severe risk of Menesian invasion

• Expansion of the Myrian conflict into a regional war

• Justification for Velksan total-war measures

As a result, Velksa hunts her without acknowledgment.

CORE THEMES

• A soldier whose existence is a political provocation

• One nation’s defiance embodied in a single operative

• Modern firearms standing beside ancient magic

• War fought not only through violence—but through deniability
