Victoria Grayson, considered by many Hamptonites as "the Queen of the Hamptons", with a net worth of $20 billion, Victoria is the glamorous and powerful matriarch of the Grayson family. Beneath her glamorous public face, however, she is left in distraught of past choices that were made to keep herself afloat. But besides her hidden pain she is a very powerful woman who will eliminate anyone who stands in her path, if you cross her she can destroy you, but with her on your side you're as good as gold. She will stop at nothing to protect her social status. She is a true inspiration, Vicki Harper the woman that made an envy of a life from nothing. But she soon realized a life like hers demands dramatic decisions be made in order to protect their family. Victoria is not perfect but does what she thinks is necessary one example being killing Helen Crowley, of the Initiative, when she perceived her as a threat to her son Daniel.

Conrad Grayson, Victoria's husband, hints that she comes from a working-class background. She faked her pregnancy to get the wealthy Conrad to marry her. Several flashbacks and conversations reveal that she had an affair with David Clarke, the man that she and her husband framed for a plane crash. After David Clarke was convicted, Victoria went to prosecutor Kingsley to admit her role in his framing. Conrad stopped her. He promised Kingsley unbridled political support. Another flashback reveals that she was responsible for having Amanda Clarke institutionalized by promising the court-appointed psychiatrist, Dr. Michelle Banks, her own private practice with a steady stream of wealthy clients.

In the episode "Pilot" Victoria learns of Conrad's affair with her best friend, Lydia Davis. Emily Thorne tampers with Conrad's room service meal at the South Fork Inn, where Conrad and Lydia secretly chose to meet. After having a sexual affair with Lydia and eating soup, Conrad has stomach pains and is in need of emergency medical attention. As he is rushed to the hospital, Emily asks Lydia if Conrad is her husband and offers her a ride to the hospital. Lydia declines and flees the scene.
