>>99569872>>99569890>>99569915Idk if "villain" fits. She's an agent, definitely, but whether she has an interest in taking the key for herself... I don't know if she's quite the same motives as the rest of the pursuers.
More, perhaps, she knows this is an Event of the age so she has an interest in being there.
In setting off, even, she doesn't say she's doing it for money or power. She sayshe "has a parade of fools to follow".
And when she's within easy striking distance of Allison, she doesn't act to take the key. She gives advice, instead.
Point is, I don't think "villain" is the right word for what she is. Though neither, perhaps, does its opposite apply.
