Was told this is where I could find an answer

So... you might get some decent results here, but I see now that I was totally unclear. That's my bad. What I actually meant was the IKRPG subforum on the Privateer Press Forums. They're still pretty active even after the forums imploded, and devs/writers will even occasionally chime in on stuff.

In the meantime, I'll see how much info Kings, Nations, and Gods has and get back to you.

She showed up in the Acts of War: Flashpoint and Acts of War: Aftershock digital novels by Aeryn Rudel.

I don't know if they're still available digitally, or available again digitally, or what, as the Skull Island Expeditions thing ran aground late last year/earlier this year. It's coming back (as of Word of God in June 2018), just no word yet on when.

Basically, she's a 20-something girl who was the last living heir of king who-gives-a-crap, the crappy philandering king of the sad little nation of Llael, which is much better off under Khador anyway. Cygnar just used them as a buffer (buffet? ha!) against Khador and half-assed the defense of the country through crappy politics. At least Llael has a fair place in Khador and no one in the empire is BS-ing the populace about their status.

So... there.

Good news, KNG has a buttload of stuff about Baird in the Ord chapter.

She’s definitely not a rumor; her name is “Katelyn di la plot device” or something like that, and she’s basically arm candy for Orange Julius, the current king of Cygnar. She has something like five lines combined in both books, from what I remember, and they basically boil down to “Look at me, I am a strong female character! Here I am, being strong, but also a woman! Uh, go Llael, yay!”

I’m pretty sure I remember one of the evil Khadoran secret agents assigned to chase her down actually twirled his villainous mustache while monologuing while trying to capture her, because, sure, Khador is on par with Cobra in terms of effective villainy whenever the story is centered around Cygnar.







Man, why am I so cranky tonight? Geez.



Maybe it is the memory of the SIXTEEN THOUSAND EGREGIOUS TYPOS in each book that is coming back to haunt me.


Burn!

I don't read the novels, so her development into a confirmed character is new to me. As of Five Fingers, she was only a rumor.

Also, I think the fictional narrative is running ahead of the IKRPG material. NQ releases are likely meant to augment that.
