Morgase Trakand

Tthe Queen of Andor. Morgase did not inherit her throne. Rather, when the succession was left without an heir, she waged a brutal war against a half-dozen noble rivals, and thanks to her political savvy and utter ruthlessness, she won. She has sworn ever since to shield her daughter and heir, Elayne, from ever having to endure what she did... and do what she did. But far from being a tyrant, Morgase has become one of the best queens Andor has ever known.
