And the winner is... (Patreon)

Troia Rossa (The Red Whore).

So, going by the vote as well as the comments I'm leaning towards a "Red Sonja" style character.  Actually, it was the original concept for the story but seeing how it is Black History Month in February, I wanted to sneak in Gamba.  I don't want to give up on him so I will most likely be working him into the story.

Troia Rossa is a lawless mercenary and I think would really contrast well with Gamba's nobility spirit so it will make for some interesting dynamics.

I loved ripping off Red Sonja's bikini chain mail but it wasn't quite revealing enough for this comic. so I gave her a set of scale mail that I'm sure I'm going to regret drawing over and over again!  Lol.  But that's why you guys pay the big bucks... for me to draw complicated armour.

Thanks everyone for your input and DConn's extensive writeup for Gamba.  It really got me thinking about how best to make these characters and their stories more complex.
