Look, the coup attempt was kinda dead on arrival once Saint took a step back and listened to Mithrax but they had me wondering, who in the past was close to completing a coup? Lysander.
For those who don’t know who Lysander is, he was the leader of the Concordant faction, a faction that was kicked out before we were revived in the Old Russia for causing the great faction war. Now, I don’t know if this was retcon but could Lysander somehow be important to the next season as I don’t think a coup will happen this season.
Edit: There are references here and there, the latest being in shadow keep, a name drop, but shows he’s still relevant.

I think he will show up after Lightfall sometime, if not slightly sooner. Some humanity vs humanity would be an interesting story though. That being said we can live in fear and know that Lysander... is the Rat King! Dun Dun Dunnnnnn!
