Gloriana

Gloriana, also known as Mary Cole, Confederate citizen, plantation owner, wealthy widow who now lives alone with her enslaved labour and works as an agent of the White Tiger League. She met Charles Garnet during negotiations to expand trade into the Confederacy. She may be a descendant of House Diamond. Gloriana has given her enslaved staff names based in fanciful, epic poetry, plays and the like. Gloriana is a stern, strict woman, feared and respected for the way she keeps a firm hand over her estate and does not suffer fools. Gloriana is also a loyalist who lost her only sibling to the war and almost lost the family estate in the process. She does not necessarily care for revenge but she does not approve of cowardice, which is how she sees the Confederate victory was achieved. Also the Confederacy has turned against magicians in vengeance over the near defeat they were handed at the hands of them.

Gloriana has a son, Ashley, whom she sent to the Orient to protect. Gloriana married young but did not have her son until later in age and so dotes on him. He is actually the product of an affair with a Confederate general.
