Character from Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros
Navarre's commanding general and Violet's mother — a woman who forced her fragile daughter into a death-trap academy, kept her son's survival secret, and serves a system she knows is built on lies.
General Sorrengail is the most powerful military figure in Navarre and one of its most complicit. She commands the war college, enforces its brutal traditions, and made the choice to send Violet into the Riders Quadrant knowing her daughter's condition could kill her. Her reasons are complex — part military calculation, part desperate preparation for a war she knows is coming. She hid Brennan's survival from her own family and participates in the leadership's conspiracy to conceal the venin threat. Lilith is not cruel for cruelty's sake; she is a woman who has made impossible choices and refuses to show regret.
Silver-streaked dark hair like Violet's, sharp features hardened by decades of command. Tall, imposing posture in full military dress. Her expression is controlled steel — warmth is a weapon she rarely deploys.
Also known as: General Sorrengail, Lilith, the General
