Sylvia Dythanus rules over a network of brutally-obtained narcotics, gambling dens and traders in unfortunate human females. Officially, she runs the Physician's Guild, city asylum and a handful of theatres and cock pits. Those who show the Lady the proper respect are treated justly: in the areas under her protection she is often referred to as 'The Godmother', a generous giver of gifts to the community and a source of life lessons. Or death lessons, as the case may be.
