Only a few brave travellers (mostly dead) know the truth about the Warrior Queen of Skifander, and the live one known isn't talking about her much.
She is alleged to be a strong Spark, and is likely a fairly absolute ruler over her hidden city. She is a close relative of Zeetha, Daughter of Chump, although the exact relationship has not been revealed as yet. This queen dispatched her kinswoman to the outside world "to see what the rest of the world was getting up to." [1] Considering her appellation and the emphasis Zeetha has placed on battle training, she may be the best fighter of her people as well.
[edit] Zantabraxus in The Works
One card in The Works card game is identical (or very nearly so) to the Queen pictured in the description of Zeetha's adventure: Zantabraxus, who has the labels Queen and Spark.
When Klaus first meets Zeetha and has an animated exchange with her in the Skiff tongue[2], his last word is "Zanta--!" just before he is cut off by the Spark-infecting slaver wasp, leading attentive fans to the (very reasonable) conclusion that he was about to invoke the name of the Skifander Queen.
