In the first and most fun of Mender Ramiel's missions, alongside the Rularuu high pockets guy, hanging out with Honoree, you find Glacia.

Nothing in the Lady Grey strike force suggests that she turns evil. If I expected either of those two rescued heroes to go off the deep end, it would be Infernia.

Is there something I missed?

Uhm...you do realise you also fight States, Recluse, Sis Psyche, Positron, Imperious AND Romulus?

She's not evil. Theres your answer. Those are Time Echoes. Not the real people.

Are you 100% sure that they arent the real people from the future?

I'd go the other way actually. Getting stuck on the Rikti homeworld for several years in what amounts to a combat situation would be amazingly tough on the human psyche. One of the main ways humans cope with stress is by sharing with others (which is why group therapy sessions are often used for treating several forms of trauma). Of the two Infernia seems to be the extrovert while Glacia seems more introverted. Given that I could definitely imagine Infernia handling their return better while Glacia kept her problems bottled up inside until she snapped.

She got pissed off at all of the LGTF speed runners deliberately killing her to complete the mission faster .

EDIT: Actually according to the wiki Glacia wasn't a hero in the first place:

Uhm....given their dialogue and group and such? Yes.

The first time through, I did fight a number of those characters, but I have close to 20 level 50s to work through this on, so I do tend to skip to the goal.

Now that is a fun mission, gotta say.

As I understand it, one of the two sisters was a villain prior to the Rikti invasion, and while I don't think it's ever been said which it was, Infernia appears to have been designed to be a Fire/Fire Blaster and Glacia an Ice/Cold Corrupter.

Step One: Walk over to Remiel.
Step Two: Get next mission.
