Character History
Not wanting to take chances having her nation attacked, Archon Melissa set into motion, in November of 3136, a military campaign into the Free Worlds League to keep other interstellar nations from thinking House Steiner was weak.
Taking a deadly gamble, she had her cousin and aide Trillian Steiner negotiate a deal with Clan Wolf-in-Exile to convince them and their cousins in Clan Wolf to attack with House Steiner forces into the old Free World League. Archon Melissa also had her cousin ride herd on military expeditions as her envoy with the troublesome Duke Vedet Brewster who was leading the expedition with the Wolves.
She secretly had Leutnant-General Gunter Duiven, her head of Lyran Intelligence Corps' elite Loki branch investigate the events of the Jade Falcon raid on Algorab and later completely cleared Roderick Frost name from the events. She, in fact, wanted to make sure that he was truly not at fault.
