"The Traitor Empress and her consort live safely in the Shuttered Palace, in the protective custody of the Bazaar. No-one is permitted to use her name anymore."
The Traitor Empress is the sole party responsible for London's fall into the Neath, having orchestrated the Fall to save the life of her dear Prince Albert. From the 1870s through the 1890s, she and her family are confined to the Shuttered Palace. There is a reason for this; they are not what they seem, anymore...
She despises noise, although she is known to enjoy symphonies which attempt to imitate The Correspondence, indicating that she is more powerful than she may seem.
Sunless Skies
"We shan't interfere because we needn't. One sits on the Throne of Hours. Do you understand what that means? Do you think our dominion is subject to petty chronology? We are History's Empress. Reveal all you like. History is mutable. We are not."
Freed from the grip of the Masters when she launched London into space at the turn of the 20th century, Empress Victoria is now able to use her real name, as well as the title of "Her Renewed Majesty." She now presides over time itself thanks to her artificial star - the Clockwork Sun; she rules her little corner of the High Wilderness from the Throne of Hours. She is so powerful that she managed to wrangle at least one former Master into her service. She is purportedly capable of ending lives on a whim and could, in theory, deal with the unraveling time in her domain, but that would be beneath her.
Unfortunately, Albert has passed on, probably due to the fact that he was already something of a zombie, and then he left the Neath's unnatural vitality. He is interred in the Most Serene Mausoleum, along with a number of the Empress' favorite courtiers - who are alive, being provided with extra hours, and living in luxury there, but legally dead.
