Rapture Queen

The Rapture Queen generally refers to the matron of the Raptures, the absolute authority and ultimately, the source of humanity's doom. The Queen formerly resides in the space station, once connected with the Lift until the Old Tales' assault which severs the connection between both structures. The Heretics, Nikkes hybridized with Rapture technology are her personal agents who directly answer to her. She is able to influence them to do her bidding. While the title refers to the Queen 001, numerous individuals have been known to be a candidate to become the new "Rapture Queen," namely Modernia and Only One. Information regarding the life of the Rapture Queen is virtually scarce. But she has been active since the first Rapture invasion. Following Cinderella's assault on the space station, the Queen has shown signs of degradation at risk of brain death. She orders her underlings to search for Lilith's remains. Liberalio would eventually offer Lilith's head to the Queen. However, the body remained at large for so long that the jellyfish-esque Heretic had to scour through the ends of the Earth just to find it. Suddenly, the Queen has become dormant for so long that the Heretics have no guiding authority, being described as "children left without their mother."
