There is something you should realise. There are no women like me. I am unique. That makes me rather dangerous.
Character Notes
Supreme Commander Servalan was probably the most powerful person in the Federation after the President and certainly one of the most ruthless. She started her career as a cadet and through her own deviousness and making full use of anyone she met, she worked her way up to Supreme Commander.
In the aftermath of the Civil War she was lost to sight but has now re-emerged under a new name [Sleer] as a Commissioner of the Security Forces.
A political animal, Servalan is prepared to take whatever steps are necessary to ensure she gets her own way. To her the Scorpio crew are a group of terrorists to be hunted down and killed. But between her and Avon there is more than the relation of hunter and hunted – for each recognizes in the other the same: ruthlessness and the appeal of power.
