Violetta Mondarev/Mad

'''Incompetent? I think not...'''

Violetta describes herself as an 'incompetent' Smoke Knight, but as we've, she's got some impressive skills. Notice also that she doesn't fall under the spell of Lucrezia, meaning that she's not under Slaver wasp control (or whatever is used to control the many inhabitants of Sturmhalten). Perhaps Vi is somehow immune to Slaver wasps and, therefore, unsuitable for Smoke Knight work (at least, 'unsuitable' in the minds of the Smoke Knight leadership).
