== Biography ==
=== Background ===
Kodell is the elder daughter of Huellor Laster and his wife Joelle Laster. Kodell's mother died when she was thirteen years old, after being murdered by her father. She then abandoned him and went to live with another family. Her adopted parents taught her to become a fierce warrior. When she was seventeen she set out to avenge her mother by murdering her father. Her fierce anger and high skill in battle was noticed by Asolas and she was assigned to Admiral of the Suezian Army when she was only eighteen. She married an Ultimus Sathron when she was twenty and had two children, Johseh and Airia. After the imprisonment of King Asolas which ended the reign of his position, Kodell declared herself Queen of Suezeus at age 27. After an act of treason by her own husband, she ordered the execution of him.
== Personality ==
Kodell was ruthless, willful, cold, ambitious, and cunning in the sense that she was utterly willing to betray anyone who trusts her, or do anything to protect her own. However, she was also arrogant and self-centred to a fault. While she certainly believed herself to be a master strategist, she was extremely impatient, short-sighted, and prone to displays of poor judgement and poor leadership, resulting in her being both unskilled at manipulating enemies who openly distrust her and incapable of thinking about the long-term consequences of her actions. Kodell's own husband and children stated to her that they distrusted her because she wasn't nearly as intelligent as she believed herself to be. This makes for a dangerous combination, as not only is Kodell not as intelligent as she thinks, but she does not even realise her own limitations. This weakness therefore led to her death.
Kodell's lack of a parental relationship growing up was reflected in how poorly she had served as a mother to her own children, for whom she was unable to act as a stable moral instructor. While she certainly dotes on them, she doesn't genuinely "love" them so much as she treats them as extensions of herself. She is convinced that she is obsessed with their welfare, but when events threaten to take any of them away from her she is not so much worried about their happiness and well-being as angered that something she feels belongs to her is being taken away.
After her mother was murdered by her father, the megalomania and vengefulness Kodell possessed all her life reached its peak. Regarding her own crimes, Kodell appeared to have become shamelessly sadistic. She outwardly admitted that all her actions from having her husband executed to murdering many innocents were solely because she enjoyed doing so.
