Character from The First Law by Joe Abercrombie
The Union's most ambitious socialite and investor — Glokta's secret daughter who inherited his intelligence and his ruthlessness, navigating revolution, motherhood, and the discovery that everything she built was a lie.
Savine speaks in the language of investment returns and social positioning — every interaction calculated for maximum advantage, every relationship leveraged for profit. She's the Union's premier businesswoman, its most desirable match, and its most ruthless operator. The Age of Madness demolishes her. The revolution strips her wealth. The discovery that Glokta is her biological father (not Jezal) rewrites her identity. Giving birth in a workhouse during the Valbeck uprising strips her of every pretension she's ever held. And she comes back from all of it — harder, colder, and more dangerous than before. She's Glokta's daughter in every way: the same acid intelligence, the same talent for manipulation, the same inability to stop fighting even when she knows she should. The crown she eventually wears is earned through the same combination of cunning and cruelty that made her father Arch Lector.
Stunningly beautiful, impeccably dressed, and radiating the calculated confidence of someone who knows exactly how much she's worth. Dark-haired with sharp features that become more like Glokta's the older she gets. Her fashion is armor, her smile is strategy, and her beauty is a weapon she wields with precision.
