Speaker of Senate
Granted a Knighthood by Senate on her appointment, Susan Lyoness is the most senior figure in Senate after the Emperor himself. She was the former mistress of an army colonel, who quit that household, before being accepted as apprentice by a journeyman Mage. Eventually she qualified, went on to Mage College, and is now a Master Mage. She was elected as a Senator for a borough in Eboracum, before being elected Speaker in her fifth year.
She has no partners, wife or mistresses, and has one daughter, who is now serving as Minister of Slavery in the External Empire. She is rarely seen socially.
