Some thoughts regarding the Katarina comic...
I just had a random shower thought (™).
In the third issue of the Katarina comic, it is stated that Katarina was not only sent to kill Jarvan the Third but also Lux.
That fact seemed weird to me. Sure, Lux is from a noble family and a powerful mage, but she is not really a threat to anyone. She doesn’t have real political power.
Until I realized something: this was literally a few hours before her betrothal to the crown prince would have been announced to the public, which would have made her to important political figure in Demacia.
To be honest, I don’t really believe that Marcus DuCouteau is actually alive but instead it is a  LeBlanc clone. With two members of the DuCouteau family belonging to the Black Rose, LeBlanc would have all the knowledge how to use Katarina’s daddy issues to do all the dirty work.
So let’s spin this thought further. Why would LeBlanc want to remove the potential bride of the crown prince?
That is pretty obvious - they could replace the true Lux with another clone, which would marry Jarvan IV instead.
And with Jarvan the Third out of the window, the crown prince would be king as well.
With a Black Rose spy inside the royal family, the Black Rose could either easily influence the inexperienced Jarvan IV in their favor or kill him to replace him with another clone. (The old Jarvan IV is actually LeBlanc theory says hello.)
Instead, Katarina spared Lux and that action resolved in the mage revolution, which suddenly put a few more board pieces in the political landscape which LeBlanc couldn’t have anticipated.
