A lithe, young brunette Deshreti woman, Akadjet is on her first command assignment. She does not believe herself to be attractive, so she has always kept men at a spear-length. Has a jagged scar across her chest and down her right leg, and is deaf in her right ear. Never taken with religion, she leaves such things to the clergy. Keeps her secrets close, though she has many stories of battles shes been in. Has developed a dependence on alcohol.   Born in Ahkmis to a middle class family, her older siblings were twins blessed by the elements. Subsequently her parents paid her far less attention. In her younger days, she ran with a gang of street toughs, which earned her her scars and lost her hearing. When she came of age, and her parents seeing no point in suitors, she was sent to a military academy where she quickly excelled. She fell in love with a man who lived far from the city, and married him as soon as she was able. Still obsessed with her reputation as a soldier, she has avoided having children.
