Mab
Out Of Context Quote:
I am somewhat proud of this," Mab's cold voice said. "To be sure, the White Christ never suffered so long or so terribly as did this traitor. Three days on a tree. Hardly enough time for a prelude. When it came to visiting agony, the Romans were hobbyists.

General Description:
Mab is a Faerie and the Queen of the Winter Court; she is the Queen of Air and Darkness, and the cold counterpart to her sister, Titania.
As the Winter Queen, Mab is one of the most powerful fae. She and Titania are between about 1,000 and 2,000 years old older than the Battle of Hastings, but younger than Nicodemus, the sometimes-leader of the Order of the Blackened Denarius.
Over 6' tall, with long white hair (usually described as flowing all the way down her back), she has green cat-slitted eyes, very pale skin, and lips the color of frozen mulberries. She is ruthless, and, although capable of compassion, she shows it very rarely. Mab is, however, always good to her word. But only the letter of an agreement, and never the spirit.
Her main goal in life is to maintain the balance between the two Courts and the protection of reality against the Outsiders. Since her court is tasked with defending against Outsiders that are constantly trying to invade, she will do absolutely anything to achieve this. She is also the creator of the Unseelie Accords, which she upholds and takes personal offense when they are breached in her presence.
Mab is also mildly concerned with the spread of factually accurate information about Faeries among humans. A copy of Kinder- und Hausmärchen by the Brothers Grimm found in Arctis Tor is dedicated to her, possibly indicating that she was involved with its writing. Accordingly, her distaste for Disney's treatment of the supernatural is deep and obvious.
Mab believes in reason, logic and the supremacy of the mind, and behaves accordingly.
While not all Winter fae are evil, and not all Summer fae are good, Mab and Titania are direct opposites. They tend to be the extreme on each tip of the scale, while their underlings fall somewhere in between.
