Servalan is a character in the BBC science fiction television series Blake's 7, played by Jacqueline Pearce.
Servalan is the Supreme Commander of the Terran Federation, in charge of the Federation's military force. An icy, carefully calculating politician as well as an undiluted sociopath, Servalan is determined to preserve her power at any cost, even it means wiping out the population of an entire planet, and perceives Blake largely as a threat to her own ambitions to advance within the Federation hierarchy. Eventually, Servalan stages a military coup and takes over as President. Attempting to consolidate her power base, she develops an intriguing adversarial chemistry with Avon during the second half of the series, as they flirt with each other at the same time as attempting to kill each other.
During the final Series(Series 4), Servalan is also a fugitive from Federation justice after her failed coup climaxed in her unsuccessful attempt to steal the Liberator. She operated under the alias Commissioner Sleer. She admitted that she had killed at least 29 people to protect herself and her identity as Commisioner Sleer, including the blind Ardus.
The creator originally intended the character to make one appearance.
