Lady Sterling

Lady Sterling is the wife of Dourmound Sterling, President Ortzworth's chief inventor. She is a Veilmaker, a politician, and a genius tactician. She appears to have vast wealth and influence over world events, though the extent of her reach is unknown.

Early Life
Lady Sterling references growing up as a poor child to Maynard during the events of Maynard Trigg and The Creature Beneath The Veil, though this appears to be either a lie or only partially true as she also describes working as a clerk in The Veil from an early age. Little else is known about Lady Sterling's early life.

Marriage to Dourmond Sterling
Lady Sterling married Dourmound Sterling sometime after meeting during Lady Sterling's time as a clerk at The Observatory. This marriage propelled her into being involved with parliament and politics, and though she appears not to have an official position, she is intrinsically linked with President Ortzworth and the white law, going so far as to threaten Maynard with her importance.

Aboard The Harmony
While traveling home to The Veil from an unknown location, Lady Sterling meets Maynard and sets into motion a series of events that lead to the disappearance of Grawl and Maynard's escape from The Harmony.

Personality
Lady Sterling is polite and pleasant, and an expert at masking her true motives. She seems to view others as vehicles to achieve her desires, though the extent to which she will go to achieve her goals is unclear.
