Efrideet

"No statue for me, I see?"

- Lady Efrideet

Lady Efrideet is a female Hunter, and the youngest of the Iron Lords. She formerly assumed Lord Saladin's responsibility of serving as the handler of the Iron Banner.

Biography
Apart from Lord Saladin, Efrideet is the only Iron Lord to have survived the original SIVA outbreak. She kept her survival a secret from Saladin, having witnessed the fall of her friends and lost the will to fight. She eventually journeyed to the outer rim of the Solar System and joined a hidden enclave of Guardians who had learned to use their Light in peaceful ways. Centuries later, with the onset of the SIVA Crisis, Efrideet returned to the Iron Temple to assist Saladin and fulfill her responsibility to the Iron Banner.

Later on, Efrideet would be nowhere to be found during the course of the Red War, prompting Lord Saladin to return to taking over her Iron Banner responsibilities. The description for a Ghost Shell later revealed that she fought in the Red War alongside Guardian forces.
