Lady Gardre
A plump, soft-spoken senator on Governor Varlance's council on the Bilming crisis, conspicuously *less* of a war hawk than the others and treated by the room as the reasonable voice in the discussion. MB2:TLM:Ch 38
Known facts
- identified-as-set-moleBy process of elimination during Varlance's private council, Steris concludes that the reasonable, plump Lady Gardre is the Set mole among Elendel's political elite. Adawathwyn is too obvious — a decoy who likely believes herself the mastermind — and the governor is too prominent; the Set prefers to seat its real conspirators behind layers of obscurity, and the rational-sounding senator is exactly where they would hide.MB2:TLM:Ch 38
Events
- MB2:TLM:Ch 38 Plays the reasonable centrist at the war council, nodding reluctantly along with the strike-first logic, then dismissing Steris's doomsday-weapon framing as fancy — which is the moment Steris decides she is the Set's inside woman.
- MB2:TLM:Ch 48 An aide whispers in her ear; she stands smoothly and excuses herself from the chamber, *to deal with this*. Steris reads her exit as confirmation — the Set's plant in the room is leaving, the city is in imminent danger, the bomb is coming today.
