Valeria Grimes

Valeria walked away chuckling, tossing her knife in her hand under the dim midnight sky. Happily, she whistled a jaunty tune. As the Harper lackeys slowly approached the manacled Doctor, she paused, raising a finger. With a whistle, she chuckled.'Oh... there was one last thing, lads' Val remembered. She spun round on her heels, leather coat trailing in the night smog. Humming, she sauntered toward Darrion. He raised his eyebrows, opened his mouth, as she smiled kindly. His confusion turned to a sudden, pained gasp as Val buried her knife deep into his chest. The Harpers reached for their clubs, but the clicking of flintlocks from the thieves lurking in the shadows warned them it was ill-advised. Val grinned determinedly, turning the knife in his flesh as she gently lowered him to the ground, crumpling. The doctor's bloody hand reached out as the knife twisted deeper. 'That was for 1561.' she whispered through gritted teeth.
- Val murders the captive Oracle scientist Dr. Edward Darrion in 1567.
Valeria Grimes, also known as the Queen of Clubs, was a human thief from Halcyon. She controlled a sizable portion of the criminal underworld and Lamplighter's Guild and sewers of the city. She was opportunistic and clever. Valeria was also the wielder of Alkibiades' Kopis after the suspicious death of her predecessor, criminal lord Archie Grimes. Valeria kind of showed up from nowhere - most Archie's contacts and the other thieves had no idea he had a daughter. She collected knives.
She was peppy and cheerful on the surface, with a chipper Saemhl (Irish) accent, and an air of nonchalance. She particularly enjoyed chicken club sandwiches. However, underneath she was a cold and ruthless tyrant. This was seen in 1567 where, in front of several others, she beckoned and killed a thief underling simply for botching a job that led to the death of an innocent civilian. She then murdered Doc Hyram Westford / Edward Darrion too, and got away with it.
In her early years, she worked as an investigator.
