Crimson Guardian Birgitte Ottum
Crimson Guardian Birgitte Ottum (a.k.a. One-Eye)
A glaive who nearly died in a deadly ruin, but was transformed into something more and less than human.
When a numenera being worked on by a friend detonated, Birgitte nearly lost her life. Her friend, though obliterated by the explosion, managed to shield Birgitte from the worst of the blast. Birgitte lost most of the left side of her body -- it took her left arm and leg, took a chunk from her torso, and heavily scarred her face and head. The team she was delving with managed to save her life through a combination of healing skill, some handy cyphers, and a great deal of luck. They placed her in a numenera they had found earlier that seemed to be some kind of full-body repair device.
Unfortunately, they didn't know that it was configured for a non-human design. Thankfully, the process rebuilt her with mechanical parts rather than potentially incompatible biological ones. Now her left leg and arm are powerful mechanical limbs, although she lost the use of her left eye. These parts are not bonded perfectly with her body, however.
When connected, the arm and leg function perfectly but put Birgitte in constant pain. It's not enough to be debilitating, but it is not a pleasant experience. Unless she really needs to, Birgitte spends most of her time these days with the arm and leg disconnected. She uses a crutch to get around, and lives a happy and fulfilling life with Pamki in Ararholm.
