Johane Harimann

Lady Johain Harimann was the matriarch of the Harimann noble family of Kirkwall, and the mastermind behind the murder of the Vaels of Starkhaven.

Background
Lady Harimann was the mastermind behind the assassination of the Vaels, the ruling family of Starkhaven. She was a potent mage, and took control of the Harimann family following her husband's death. She murdered the Vaels (long-time friends of the Harimanns) in order to further her own family's power. She placed Goran Vael on the throne of Starkhaven, as she believed she could easily manipulate him. To solidify her hold, she prepared to force her daughter, Flora, into marriage with Vael.
