Princess Nora

Princess Nora is the main villainess from "War Games," episode 3.04 of Quantico.

She was played by Lara Wolf.

Princess Nora is the elder offspring of the Emir of Qumar, and the older sister of Khaled, the Crown Prince and heir apparent to the throne. Alex Parrish and the rest of the task force were at a gala event in search of an assassin, after a hospitalized Harry Doyle informed Alex and Owen Hall that his attacker stated to him that there was a plot to kill the Emir. After saving the Emir from the attack, Alex later came to the conclusion that Khaled, not the Emir (who was revealed to be dying from pancreatic cancer), was the main target.

Nora served as a means of support and protection to Khaled, though as the episode progressed, she was revealed as the mastermind of the attempt. Nora felt that she, not Khaled, was deserving of the throne, and though even Khaled himself had no desire to become king, she still saw her brother as an obstacle and planned to have him killed. The scheming villainess enlisted Viggo, an assassin, to infiltrate the gala, only for that attempt to be thwarted. While tending to their father (up until his passing), Nora attempted to paint Faizan (the Emir's brother and Nora & Khaled's uncle) as the attempted killer, painting him as someone who felt that Khaled was unworthy of the throne. Later on, Nora ordered Khaled to be sent to wherever he desired, which happened to be a nearby restaurant, with Alex and Mike McQuigg at his side. Shortly afterwards, the evil Nora sent Viggo to the restaurant in another attempt to kill her brother, continuing to display her ruthless heel persona.

Faizan was cleared as the mastermind following Owen Hall's investigation with Celine Fox and Jocelyn Turner, and it was in the episode's climax, that Khaled revealed Nora as the villainess, blasting her for her betrayal. When Khaled wanted to know why, Nora simply stated that she wanted the power that she felt she deserved and that Khaled didn't even want. Khaled responded that he will become king and that Nora will be off to prison, after which the villainess was taken to custody.
