Probably a stupid question but....

Does anyone know who that dwarven woman on the front cover of the player's guide is supposed to be? I've easily been able to identify the other two characters but she seems to be absent from the entire adventure path. While I've only read the first two books in preparation to run the AP I didn't notice that picture coming up again when skimming through the final four books. Usually the characters on the front of a player's guide all relate to the adventure path in question.

Perhaps she got lost in editing or something? I'll have to perform a more thorough search but hopefully one of you might know.

Thanks in advance.

IMHO,

she is:

Ingrahild Nargrymkin,

but with different armor.

She's not "supposed" to be anyone, other than a thematically appropriate character for Giantslayer. In fact, many of the figures we use to illustrate the covers of the Player's Guides are chosen because they look like characters that people could play in that AP. The art is often picked up from other books as well, since most of the people illustrated in the adventures themselves are enemies the PCs are supposed to fight. Not only do we not want to spoil some of these villains for potential players, but they also tend to look more like bad guys than heroic PC-type good guys. In the case of the dwarf on the cover of the Giantslayer Player's Guide, she first appeared in Pathfinder Player Companion: Giant Hunter's Handbook.

Thankyou. Usually I can place them but she was a mystery. I had a distinct feeling that I'd seen her somewhere before but could not for the life of me remember where.

Mainly just checking that there isn't an npc I've missed somewhere.
