Mercedes

Mercedes is Fabulon's emperor Florian’s favorite and currently sole consort, a nice girl from an upstanding Montivan family. Unlike other court concubines, she did not begin her career on Pleasure Island but as a midshipman at sea. When Florian was tossed over the side of the Cagna Regina in a squall, she dived overboard and fished his listless form from the waves. She now has an unusual amount of power at court, but is actually relatively generous with her authority. Her main duty is handling the administration of the city while her emperor is away. Her fierce activism and judicious use of the Home Guard has made her one of Consul Snario’s least favorite people.
