Editing Semiramis (section)

==History==
===Background===
Semiramis was the second-in-command to a warlord and arms trafficker, in southern [[Europe]] and northern [[Africa]]. She held this position until her boss died during [[Gold Morning]], when she took over.<ref>“Semiramis was second-in-command to a warlord and arms trafficker in Southern Europe, northern Africa.  Held her position while waiting for her boss to die, and he finally kicked the bucket on Gold Morning.  She took over, and now she’s a player behind the scenes.  I mentioned the categories these people cover.  For her, she’s a player when it comes to culture and cash.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/04/27 Excerpt] from [[Black 13.8]]</ref>

She made herself an important player in the new world, working behind the scenes in the media industry, helping produce films, music, games and more.

===Post-[[Time Bubble Pop]]===
Semiramis was present at the Lodge, when [[Victoria]] and [[Tattletale]] were investigating the cyber attack. She was questioned, alongside [[Little Midas]], about her involvement with [[Big Picture]] and their attempts to get him into [[Foresight]].<ref>[[Black 13.8]]</ref>

After the [[Old Man]] was outed, Semiramis reluctantly agreed to cooperate with heroes, and even threatened local villains during the heated moment.<ref>[[Black 13.9]]</ref>

Later, she became mired in a conflict over influence over [[Earth N]] with [[Little Midas]] and [[Bluestocking]]; [[The Wardens]] had [[Auzure]] intervene.<ref name="14.2">“There are two ongoing wars between villain factions in two locations,” Cinereal said.  “The first is between Semiramis, Little Midas, and Bluestocking, Earth N.  The Wardens and Foresight have discussed it and we would like to push for a stable alliance between Bluestocking and Semiramis.  For those of you who don’t know, these are behind-the-scenes operators who are stepping in to fill a void after Marquis has left for Shin and Lord of Loss was arrested.  Auzure, you have a working relationship with Semiramis.”<br/><br/>“We do,” Lark said.<br/><br/>“You’re up to date on who these individual faction leaders are, and what they represent?”<br/><br/>“We are.”<br/><br/>“Talk to Semiramis, then.  See what it would take, and broker a peace with Bluestocking.  Offer assistance in taking down Midas.”<br/><br/>“We can try.”<br/><br/>“We need better than try.  We need success.  All three parties know about Teacher and we need that handled.  We want Midas arrested and at least temporarily shuttled to our prison world, and we want Bluestocking and Semiramis cooperating with each other and with us.”<br/><br/>“We’ll manage it.  Can we bring in others if we need help with the actual handling and takedown?”<br/><br/>“Yes.  Talk to the Wardens if you need help organizing that,” Cinereal said.  She got a nod from Lark and moved on, addressing the rest of us - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/05/21 Excerpt] from [[Breaking 14.2]]</ref>

===Post-[[Attack on Teacher]]===
Semiramis, evidently, strengthened her position by driving out Little Midas from local villain circles, she was sent [[Damsel of Distress III|Damsel of Distress]] and [[Deathchester]] to watch over.<ref>“You want me to bring your Damsel of Distress into the villain inner circle,” Tattletale commented.<br/><br/>“It’s what I said on the phone.  Yeah.”<br/><br/>“Talk me through it.”<br/><br/>“You can work with controlled chaos.  Semiramis wants a Little-Midas-like violent subfaction to bounce off against, it’s how she operates, and I know Damsel will like Semiramis’s shtick without them being so similar they’ll threaten each other.  Prancer knows her and knows her team, pretty much.”<br/><br/>“She’s a known quantity, sure.  But she’s a mess, and she’s petty.”<br/><br/>“She’s looking for direction.  You’re looking to expand your collective power base.  She captures a share of the villains out there that the rest of you guys don’t.  Her being petty is her having aspirations without having a lot of hard-to-meet needs.” - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/08/31 Excerpt] from [[From Within 16.6]]</ref>

===[[The Ice Breaks]]===
After the event Little Midas had returned and their war resumed.<ref name="II18.9">[[Radiation 18.9]]</ref> Later the two took a break and Semiramis and her allies assisted [[Wardens]] in their anti-[[titan]] efforts.<ref name="II19.1">We had capes from the corner worlds joining in, now.  Semiramis’s faction.  Little Midas.<br/><br/>Lung, apparently, was in Little Midas’s camp.  He burned bright in the dark, but was only in the early stages of his transformation. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2019/12/24 Excerpt] from [[Infrared 19.1]]</ref> Later joining the assault on [[The Simurgh]].<ref name="II20.1">[[Last 20.1]]</ref>
