Originally an assasin, the former Mistress, realizing that she was insane, needed to escape from the twisted throne. That which gives the Mistress her power. However in order to escape, she needed someone capable of replacing her on the throne. She maneuvered Varis into taking the throne from her, and now Varis, is stuck with a job she didn't want. She is now the ultimate authority in the city. A city on the edge of starvation, and under threat of war. If the city, and she are to survive, it will take all of her abilities, as well as the power of the skewed throne, to overcome her enemies.
