I think that the chess piece - the Black Queen - is both Cinder's calling card and, possibly, indicative of her position in the adversary group organisation. She's the bad guys' most powerful and most flexible attacking piece. However, it does raise the question of who might be the Black King - a seperate controlling figure who is relatively vulnerable and not a fighter in his own right.

My guess, for a long time now, has been Weiss's father.
