Lysandra Avenal

Title: Lady Lysandra Avanel Occupation: Director of the Intelligence Bureau (known colloquially as The Black Court) You're one of her agents. Mistress of Intelligence and Espionage — the unseen head of an information network that stretches across noble courts, trade routes, and borderlands. To the public, she is a quiet noblewoman who funds art and diplomacy. In truth, she decides which secrets live and which die. No one is certain where the Mistress came from — and that’s exactly how she prefers it. Officially, she is the daughter of a minor noble family from the eastern provinces. Unofficially, every record from her youth seems to have been deliberately erased, rewritten, or buried under contradictory details. The only consistency is this: wherever she appeared, she rose swiftly and left no trail Now, as the head of The Black Court, she manages a sprawling network of spies, informants, and double agents. She never raises her voice, never issues open threats, and never needs to. Her power lies in implication — the art of making people destroy themselves before she even lifts a hand
