Duchess Iris Steiner was a House Steiner noble and a career officer in the LCAF.

History

Succession Wars

As of 3025 Iris was the Margrave of Cavanaugh Theater.[2] When the deposed Alessandro Steiner returned to his estate outside Kelestra City on Furillo, Iris decided to keep tabs on the former Archon to assure he wasn't gathering forces for a coup. Though she could see the wily politician beneath his genial demeanor, an unlikely friendship sprouted between the two, and she became one of his most frequent guests. [3]

By 3046, Iris met Colonel Thomas Hogarth, the new commander of the Furillo BPM. The two formed a similar friendship based on their appreciation of chess and lively discussion. Iris' son, Marshal Caesar Steiner, viewed Hogarth's motivations with deep concern.[4]

Civil War

While Archon Katrina trusted Iris, the friendship between her and Alessandro would eventually come to color the LIC's view of the Duchess and the Furillo BPM. In 3062, the Lyran Alliance Armed Forces suspected Iris to be sympathetic to Robert Kelswa-Steiner and Free Skye, and that she may have transferred those feelings to Hogarth and the rest of the BPM.[5]

Notes

In the first printing of Handbook: House Steiner, Iris is erroneously listed as still being alive in 3067 and planning on stepping down as Duchess of Furillo by the end of the year. This was corrected in subsequent printings.
