Sondra Sylvester

Sondra Sylvester is the former CEO of Isthar Mining Corporation. A brilliant, ruthless businesswoman, she became embroiled in a fierce rivalry with Vincent Darlington, the former husband of her lover Nancybeth Mokoroa, which led to her attempting to outbid him for a first-edition copy of T.E. Lawrence's Seven Pillars of Wisdom. When she failed to outbid him, she attempted to steal the book and have it replaced by a forgery. Unfortunately for her, the ship transporting the book, the Star Queen, was sabotaged, and she was considered a leading suspect. Though ultimately cleared of that charge, the stress, combined with her fear that Nancybeth was planning to leave her, drove her to kill Darlington.

Currently, she is serving out her sentence for murder.
