She probably enlisted while Gaius reigned, and then once Zenos took over he saw a fun pawn to toy with, so he did. As such, she's a corruption of the nobility Gaius held, bent and eventually broken to the sadistic whims of Zenos.

As for Gaius and his death, I've long believed he's done and gone. But after the end-of-credits teaser I no longer believe that to be 100% true. Hell, I wouldn't be surprised if Mr. White's reveal to Varis was associated with this.
