Sebastian Shaw was ready to rebuild the Hellfire Club.
Tired of what he felt like were repeated failures, he'd had...dealt with the remaining members of the Club and wanted to start 100 percent fresh.
He'd start small: find a Black Queen, let her settle into power and then move on from there.
He just needed a Black Queen who had the kind of power that he could use to bring the Hellfire Club back to prominence.
And he knew exactly who that person was.
