The Iron Matron

Nobody outside the Teeth knows her name; her own people call her Mother of Fire. Broad, ash-gray-haired, with lava-burn scars glazing her whole left arm and a necklace of obsidian teeth. Has quadrupled the price of naphtha in her lifetime and is now taking Castavari envoys with a straight face. Feeds her clans first and the world second. Hard, shrewd, and playing with fire in every sense.
