So, what we know so far of the new hero is that she will be an girl, the new evil of For Honor, she has an eagle and now she seems to have an red armor... Any idea of who it could be in term of real life warrior ? oh and an order gave a bit of her name: "G... Jin..."

PS: i asked chatgpt what he think and he said that: Based on the clues:

Possible Inspirations:

  1. Tang Dynasty or Jin Dynasty Warrior (China):

    • The "Jin" in her name could reference the Jin Dynasty.
    • The eagle motif and red armor could align with Chinese war banners and symbolism.
    • A potential warlord or legendary female general from Chinese history.
  2. Mongolian Warrior:

    • The eagle could hint at Mongolian falconry traditions or the Golden Horde.
    • She could be a legendary warrior like Khutulun, a Mongolian princess who was both a wrestler and fighter.
  3. Eurasian Steppes Warrior:

    • Nomadic cultures in the steppes (e.g., Scythians or Sarmatians) often featured eagle imagery and female warriors.
    • These cultures had fierce warrior women and connections to the color red for war and dominance.
  4. Japanese Influence:

    • The name fragment "Jin" could also relate to Japanese themes.
    • Samurai or onna-bugeisha (female warriors) who might align with an "evil" narrative.
  5. Mythological Hybrid:

    • The hero might blend historical and mythological elements, creating a fictional warrior inspired by multiple cultures.
    • For example, she might draw on bird symbolism tied to deities or legends across various Asian cultures.
