Empress Laseen

Character from Malazan Book of the Fallen by Steven Erikson

Former Claw who assassinated Emperor Kellanved to seize the Malazan throne — a cold, calculating ruler whose paranoia is slowly dismantling the empire she murdered to possess.

Also known as: Laseen, Empress Laseen, Surly

What They Know

• Personally trained as a Claw and knows the organization's every safe house, poison cache, and communication dead-drop across the empire
• Aware that Shadowthrone and Cotillion are the Ascended forms of Kellanved and Dancer — the emperor and assassin she murdered — and that they are working to undermine her
• Knows the location of Kellanved's hidden vaults beneath the Deadhouse in Malaz City, containing artifacts from his travels through the Azath
• Controls the Orb of Sessomon, which allows limited scrying of warren activity across Quon Tali — her private intelligence advantage over the High Mages
• Understands that the Wickan and Seven Cities populations are on the verge of open rebellion and has been positioning loyal Fists to contain it — too few and too late
