Moira Queen

Moira Queen is the ex-mayor of Starling City and the current co-CEO of Queen Consolidated. She is the wife of Walter Steele. She has two children: Oliver (with her late husband Robert) and Thea (with Malcolm Merlyn).

Prior to the Series
Not much is known about Moira's life. As such, it is unclear if she comes from money or not. At some point, she has married Robert Queen and worked at Queen Consolidated in a high position. In 1991, she gave birth to Oliver Queen. They made Slade Wilson his godfather.

In 1999, she had an affair with Malcolm Merlyn, resulting in her pregnancy with Thea Queen. She has kept Thea's true father a secret from her until after Robert died. It is unclear whether he knew about that or the affair, however.

Together with her husband she met up with other billionaires, having their children have playdates with each other.

In early 2009, Robert died and Moira stepped in as CEO of Queen Consolidated. After a while, she decided to run for mayor and handed the business over to Walter Steele, with whom she had struck up a relationship after her husband's death. She won the election as her opponent had attempted to rig it.

At some point, Moira married Walter, making him Oliver's and Thea's step-father. Her run as mayor ended and she was not re-elected, causing her to take over Queen Consolidated again.

When Oliver set off to Central City in 2015, Moira bought him a house and hired a bodyguard.

Since the Queens have been close friends with Malcolm, Moira has known Tommy since his birth. When Rebecca died, she let him stay over a lot and treated him almost like her own son. At some point prior to the series Moira has met Laurel and Sara Lance when they dated Oliver, as well as Felicity Smoak when she began seeing him. Additionally, she has met Roy Harper and Sin since they are frequent guests in her house.

Following Oliver's outing by Adrian Chase, Moira announced a press conference at the Queen Consolidated headquarters and flew in Oliver. While she did not know about her son's sexuality and expected him to deny the accusations, she did not retract his creation of the Queen Consolidated LGBT+ Foundation. Here, she met Hartley Rathaway.

Moira hosted the annual New Year's Party in December 2017. Among the guests were Tommy, Laurel, Sara and Bruce Wayne.

in the middle of the night, in my dreams
In April 2018, Moira visited the opening night of Verdant. Here she met Linda Park for the first time. It is unclear if she was introduced to any more members of the Groupchat.

head in the clouds (got no weight on my shoulders)
Some time before August 2018, Moira was approached by Felicity, who asked for her blessing as she planned to propose to Oliver. The meeting did not go well, but while Oliver, Felicity, Dig and Lyla were on Lian Yu, Moira published an engagement announcement on Queen Consolidated's website and shared the news with multiple newspapers, even though she did not know if Felicity went through with the proposal.

Moira also sent Thea to Central City in late July 2018, as she deems it necessary that a Queen be present at the Quiver at all times.

Trivia

 * Moira appears somewhat of a cold person, as she focuses on business. She still cares for her children, though.

 * She's quite paranoid.
