There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, then are dreampt of in your philosophy.

- Hamlet, Act 1 Scene 5

Idril grew up in New England, the only child of a charismatic minister who left when she was young, to be raised by her over-protective mother. Idril was driven by brightness, ambition, and a logical and skeptical mind designed in defiance against her spiritual family. She left home early, graduating quickly as a certified medical doctor with a specialty in genetic disease and virology. After the death of her mother, she turned less to active medicine and more to lab research and experimentation.

It was this work as a medical doctor and researcher that began to develop in her a strange fascination with scientific explanations behind the supernatural and paranormal. Then it should come as no surprise that whisperings in the scientific community about a situation in Malton, England drew her interest. All her inquiries were rewarded not with information but with surprisingly easy employment at NecroTech, and everything fell into place. So on the cold New Year's Eve of 2006 she entered the quarantine, taking nothing with her, leaving nothing behind, and fully aware of what she was getting herself into.

Almost. She wasn't prepared for two things, one being that she wouldn't be let out again. The other was the people. She was ready for the zombies. They were her scientific subjects, a phenomenon to be studied. What frightened her were the survivors. Unstable, emotional, unpredictable. It was exposed somehow for everyone - herself no exception - in Malton's moments of truth.

The first few days were spent carrying out the research outlined in the vague job description from NecroTech. Days turned to weeks as she realized her employers cared nothing for her activities, whereabouts, or wellbeing, so long as they were all inside the confines of the city. With no connections, she turned her attention towards becoming a reviver, viewing zombies now as patients instead of subjects. After two months of wandering she joined the Malton Forensics Unit, needing nothing resembling brightness or ambition to get in - like NecroTech, they were all to willing to hire.

Over a year later she's still fighting her own battles in Malton's revive points, drawing strength to keep going from a personal lesson: "The grave's a fine and private place. But none, I think, do there embrace." She wears on her neck a medallion of St. Anthony, patron saint of graveyards. On her shoulder, the symbol of a phoenix intertwined with a strand of DNA, with the words:

Nova Vita ab Cineribus - New Life from the Ashes.
