Well, no one knows that, it was left ambiguous on purpose. My own theory is that she's living peacefully somewhere in the Earth Kingdom, but she could really be anywhere.Marik2 said:Ok so where exactly is Zuko's mom? It just ended in that sentence I was so dissapointedorannis62 said:
I have a quetion here about Gears of War. I've just been on the Gears wiki and it seems that Marcus joined the COG when he was about 18, as he was born 21 years prior to E-Day yet also took part in the battle for Aspho Fields, three years before E-Day. That would make him 35 in the first game and 36 in Gears 2. Likewise, Dom was 16 when he joined, as he's recorded as being two years younger than Marcus and so would be 33/34 in the games. This fits their descriptions, as in the games they do both look somewhat in their early/mid-thirties.
Looking at Anya then, she seems to also be late-twenties/early-thirties, since she does look quite young. In the books she was also a soldier in the battle at Aspho Fields, so if we take 16 as the required age to join the military on Sera, this would make her 33/34 at the youngest over the course of the games. Again, fair enough.
However, my question is, does it ever mention in any of the games or additional material what age soldiers must be to join the COG? It's just something that's been bugging me a little, and it doesn't say anywhere on the Gears wiki, so I figured I'd ask here.

I do not believe it is ever mentioned about the minimum age. Im unsure if there is any at all as any "able bodied" person was either conscripted or less likely joined by choice. If we look at the typical definition of able bodied this would include all but the elderly and the very youngest of children up to the age of about 16.Trivun said:
Though im not 100% sure on this it seems like a reasonable explanation
On the Odin point, he was closely associated in Norse myth with his steed, Sleipnir. Interestingly, Sleipnir may be related to Yggdrasil, the World Tree, since this translates as Ygg's Steed. Ygg, meaning terrible, was another name for Odin.Ezio_fangirl said:
Nice answer, that's the closest I've been able to find too. Interestingly enough, the Final Fantasy games are littered with refernces to all sorts of stuff, from mythology and gods to pop culture and so on. There are almost always two characters called Biggs and Wedge in each game, not to mention the constant mythology references in the monster names, an there are even monsters in some named after the Jabberwock and Bandersnatch from Lewis Carroll's famous nonsense poem...thylasos said:
