Lenora

Lenore, Queen Mother, is a Hybretian woman and mother of King Daelin I. The wife of the last Order Diokitis, Felrik III, Lenora was extremely powerful during the Ten Year Golden Age, however almost all her influence evaporated with The Second Invasion of Kolangrad. She attempted to convince the Kordynians not to make her son, Daelin, the Duke of Hybretia, but was completely ignored. 
Lenora's relationship with her third son was poor. She favored his older brothers Velron and Caelar greatly, and often instructed Citadel staff to leave Daelin without food or water if he in any way disobeyed her. Their relationship was extremely antagonistic through to the 230s.
Lenora was believed to have been working against her son in attempts to bring her favorite, Kyros of Endiolaudika, to the position of Diokitis. When Kyros launched his Coup in 235, there was not enough evidence to tie her to the coup. Daelin's suspicions of his mother increased greatly when she tried to convince Mila, then Duchess Regent, to take over the Duchy during the War of 241.
In the 250s, The Order (251) was plagued by its inability to have a new leader go more than ten minutes without being assassinated. Lenore quietly took command of Order rebels and seized the capital once her son went to go help Emperor Llywelyn I. When the Order lost at The Embarrassment at Ukorzen, she lost faith and remained in New Hybris while the rebels fled.
Her attempts to hide her activities failed, and in late 252 she was charged with Treason. A military tribunal found her guilty on a 2-1 decision, preventing her from being executed. However, Daelin intervened, and had her sentenced to 15 years of hard labor in Taris.
Lenora helped her grandson Basilean amass support through his construction of the Tarisian Royal Navy, and the colony as a whole, culimating in his ascension after Daelin attempted to seize Taris and failed. She was shortly after strangled to death in her own apartment.
