Redshanks! They’re essentially icewing mercenaries employed under Burn and Scarlet during the War for Sandwing succession, used to perform raids on the ice kingdom as they can by pass the Great Ice Cliff without being shot at.

In universe they would probably be named after the common redshank, a species of bird, but the name redshank is also a nickname for Scottish mercenaries hired by the Irish during the 1600s or so, which are what inspired the design!
