Amanda Graveson was a Havenite citizen and an officer of the People's Navy. Holding the rank of Admiral, she was the commander of the Capital Fleet. In 1914 PD, Graveson at least had knowledge of Esther McQueen's plans to supplant the Committee of Public Safety, and may have been part of the plot. However, after Oscar Saint-Just ordered State Security to prepare McQueen's attainder for treason sooner than expected, McQueen believed she had no choice but to attempt a half-baked coup.
