Shazraella

Lady Shazraella is an alien from the IDW portion of the Generation 1 continuity family.

You just know she and Quintessa are in the same bookclub.

Lady Shazraella is an alien from Microspace and the wife of Hraal Karza. Possessing all of her husband's cunning but none of what little mercy he has, Shazraella does not see herself as a saviour like her husband. If their realm is to die, then so be it. All that matters to Shazraella is turning the situation to her advantage and what power she stands to gain from this.

Fiction

IDW Generation 1 continuity

In her youth, Shazraella was betrothed, the Emperor's son the Red Falcon before she conspired with her future husband, Defence Minister Karza, to execute him. When the Emperor succumbed to grief-induced madness, which grew worse when a destructive entropy cloud began expanding from the very heart of Microspace. Karza, Shazraella, and Daegon placed the Emperor in stasis while the trio ruled the empire. The entropy storm continued to worsen, sparking a schism between Karza and Daegon which grew into a civil war. The New Colossus

When the displaced Camien Windblade appeared, Shazraella interrogated the femme telling her about the Microspace War. After some brief electric torture, Winblade told her about Cybertron before Shazraella was called away at Karza's request, though she told the intruding handmaiden to eject herself into space. Informed

A year after Karza had made a failed attempt to use Dire Wraith magic and Ore-13 to save Microspace, Valley Forge the Ministry of Defence triumphed but the entropy cloud continued consuming worlds. Shazraella convinced her husband that Microspace was a lost cause and that the only way for their people to survive was to conquer Earth as a new home. Wrath of Karza #1 After establishing a base of operations in New York City, Shazraella was eager to enact a human genocide before Karza talked her down. When a Repto brought the news that Larissa had perished however, Shazraella seized the opportunity to convince her husband to take more extreme measures. Wrath of Karza #2

She later implored her husband to finish his tale regarding the Time Travellers where he revealed the conundrum that owing to the nature of the Travellers and the Entropy Cloud, Microspace could not be saved from the cloud without its own existence being negated in the process. Wrath of Karza #3 Seeking to take matters into her own hands, Shazraella conferred with a Time Traveller while crafting a new suit of armor. She reappeared once the Micronauts and Autobots had defeated Karza, now wreathed in Time Traveller energy. Wrath of Karza #4

When Joe Colton began his genocidal campaign against Cybertron, he realized he had to act outside the law and set out to recruit a cabal of super-villains to aid him, Shazraella among them. First Strike #0 The cornerstone of the entire plan, Colton needed Shazraella's enerchanging abilities to merge the Talisman, its energy anathema to all Cybertronians, with Cybertron's core, poising all the Energon on the planet. In exchange, she was promised a new Cybertronian body. With Storm Shadow as a bodyguard, Shazaraella fused with Antagony before strapping the Talisman to her back and using Antagony's memories to find the central vent that led down to Cybertron's core, warning her accomplices to stay close because, after all, Cybertron was a dangerous place. First Strike #2 As the group descended deeper into Cybertron, they installed sound dampeners to prevent Soundwave from detecting them. When Garrison Kreiger insulted her however, Shazraella triggered Cybertron's internal defences as a reminder that she was helping them and as such, demanded respect. First Strike #3
