The Boros symbol is on her helmet.

The white markings form the Boros fist.

Spoiler: Show

Highly unlikely I know, but could pic 4 be a reprint of Mine Bearer ?

there's a chance. just by the artwork alone on this card reminds me of reckless brute , the picture and the flavor text as well

That actually seems quite likely. The art even suggests a white card.

Surprised I'm the first one to point out... that one with a few humans and a giant that everybody's calling "Boros" at?

Has the Boros ever used that symbol emblazoned somewhere on every single figure there? The star-like symbol on the giant's shoulders, his wrecking ball, his armor, the troops' armor... etc... No sign of a single "Fist" icon that has always been the Boros symbol.

The prevalence of the markings suggest some importance, so might I hazard a Wild Guess and its an example of the so-called "Gateless", anti-guild rebels?

In addition, Picture number 12 with the woman over the dead/dying man looked more Orzhov to me due to the colorings and lack of Dimir-like malformations or discolorations or shadows or longer robes. Besides, plenty of jewelry, thus again leading me to think Orzhov. In flavor it could be claiming the soul of a dead person, or consuming it for longevity.

Finally, Picture 4 with the Boros and grenades.... well... again, there's no Boros symbology per se, save the flame markings on the wrist....but yeah, I'd pin her on Boros. It doesn't seem nearly as out-of-place for the guild as a giant with a wrecking ball around kinda awkward soldiers all of them sharing some symbol I don't recall on their armor, weapons and even tattooed. 

That symbol does remind me of Order of the Stars .

That seems like a cool idea. Although, giving him first strike and making him a 2/2 would better pay homage to his predecessors.

Knight in shining armor, you are ORZHOV'S LAST CHANCE at impressing anyone!
PLEASE do not be a 2/2 white and black knight with extort and... horsemanship.

Just.
Please.
Please be something awesome, to make up for Deathpact Angel, the image on Orzhov Charm and Alms Beast...
Please.
Just please. 

Extort is highly likely though not guaranteed. Perhaps he could be combined with the previous quoted idea, like being a 2/2 WB Knight with first strike and extort.

This will not be it. It will probably gain life, drain life (in addition to extort) or protect. (Death of a thousand cuts, which is why i don't understand alms beast, although i think it's a great card.)

Seeing how many Extort cards there are so far, and assuming there are more in the 150 cards we haven't seen yet, I understand the Alms Beast.  You have to throw your subjects a few coins now and again so they don't notice when you tax back even more later.
