Warning! Spoilers for The Lady of the Hour below!
With Francis Nerinian’s threat level established, let’s see how powerful his wife Maria is.
Maria is a level 6.5 for the same reasons as her husband. As an ambassador to a court outside of Tempora, she must have Temporan power above average, high intelligence, and be a decent combatant. Her political connections are good as well, and like most ambassadors, she has great wealth.
