Brigadier Wildbrand

From Glen Cook Wiki

Brigadier Wildbrand is the commanding officer of the elite Nightstalkers brigade, a military unit in the Northern Empire, when the Nightstalkers are sent to Oar following the theft of the Silver Spike. She is captured by Darling and her men briefly, but escapes thanks to assistance from Old Man Fish. Wildbrand survives an assassination attempt by the scheming wizards Gossamer & Spidersilk during the final battle with the Limper and emerges the highest-ranking surviving Imperial officer in the fray. She works with Darling to destroy what's left of the Limper and cooperates with the disposal of the Spike in the Plain of Fear.
