The eighth of eight children, all her siblings died before her; she is suspected to have killed two of them, but it's generally considered unlikely she engineered the hobgoblin invasion which killed three of her brothers and Demetrius chose to invade Skyport and die of his own free will. And she hadn't even been born yet when Doricus died by falling down the stairs. She played her own children against each other and was generally capricious and hard to deal with.
