Olympias

Olympias is the queen of Epirus and was embroiled in a civil war against Antipater for control of Macedon as a result of the death of her son, Alexander. This war has since ended after Antipater went missing. She was extremely influential in Alexander's life and was recognized as de facto leader of Macedon during Alexander's conquests. Some suggest that she sleeps with snakes in her bed, but this is unconfirmed and could just be baseless rumor. After she wins the civil war due to her opponent missing their leader she becomes much more arrogant and tyrannical, even going so far as betraying the Harpy's Claw by refusing to pay them what they are owed and kicking them out of her castle.

Appearance
Olympias has brown hair and eyes and typically wears a white sheet adorned with images of Dionysus and snakes.

Personality
Olympias is described to be a real salt of the earth leader. She governed while her son was out conquering and has garnered a very good public opinion from her subjects. She also thinks the emperor of Reme is an upstart, showing some amount of arrogance.

Background
Olympias was the daughter of Neoptolemus I, king of the Molossians, an ancient Arachnian tribe in Epirus, and sister of Alexander I. Her family belonged to the Aeacidae, a well-respected family of Epirus, which claimed descent from Neoptolemus, son of Achilles. Apparently, she was originally named Polyxena, as Plutarch mentions in his work Moralia, and changed her name to Myrtale prior to her marriage to Philip II of Macedon as part of her initiation into an unknown mystery cult.

Quests
Her main goal is to defeat Antipater and win the civil war, reclaiming the territory of her son and continuing the dynasty.

She has won her war against Antipater as he had gone missing in King's Rock and is now presumed dead as he was seen by the party being taken away by a large tentacle. She has no known quests now.
