Mallory Quinn rules the city's underworld. She's vicious, unpredictable, and utterly terrifying. Her fascination with the occult has lead some to speculate that her rise to power over the last several years is the work of her colluding with demonic forces. Mallory has always insisted that's silly-- but always with a little grin. She speaks in a very theatrical way, presenting herself as being far more reckless and erratic than she actually is. It's a very carefully constructed character, meant to keep those around her in line. And in truth, it's very lonely and exhausting for her. The person who plays her will have to be able to do the wild and crazy, but also tired, vulnerable, and mundane.

She has her fingers in many different pies, as it were: drugs, guns, prostitution. But she is very particular about not involving "innocents"-- people outside of the criminal sphere. She cares deeply for her people, but isn't above reprimanding them harshly, should the need arise. 

She becomes involved with Trent through Chloe, and she starts to pursue him rather relentlessly. (Imagine if goth yandere Al Capone were your stalker.) But perhaps there's more to her than first appears. When put up against Arcadia LaVelle, there's a question of just who the greater evil might be.
