Amarille Arqess is at once adored and feared.
A paragon of elegance and mystery, she seldom appears in public beyond the gilded halls of her masquerades, yet her influence is felt in every echelon of power. Ruthless, cold, and calculating beneath a veneer of charm, she emanates an untouchable aura that keeps even the most dangerous of elites at bay.
To senators, she is a patron of the arts.
To nobles, she is the arbiter of taste.
To rebels, Imperials, and Hutts alike—she is an indispensable financier whose generosity always comes at a cost.

Little is truly known of Amarille Arqess.
Some whisper she was born into a powerful Imperial family; others claim her silver hair betrays Echani blood. No records confirm either rumour. What is known is that she was the secret wife of an influential Naboo mogul. His sudden and "unfortunate" death left her sole heir to his vast fortune. With no children to contest her inheritance, every asset fell into her hands.
Rather than fading into obscurity, Amarille transformed his holdings into Maison Arqess, a multi-sector empire of luxury and influence. Over the last fifteen years, she has solidified her reach in the galaxy’s highest circles, evolving into a cultural and financial powerhouse.
Her masquerade soirées soon became the most coveted invitations in the galaxy—glittering spectacles where rival senators, Imperial officers, Hutt kajidii, and rebel leaders might all stand masked beneath the same chandelier. In these rooms, wars are stalled, deals are struck, and Amarille herself ensures that no conflict passes without her benefit.
Neutral in name but omnipresent in reach, she funds causes of every allegiance when it serves her. So long as war endures, so too does her influence.
Behind the masks and champagne, her true self remains a riddle. Some whisper she wields the Force with subtle mastery, cloaking her aura so completely that neither Jedi nor Sith can pierce it. None have proof. Few dare to seek it.
