Maven Black-Briar is not only the most influential person in Riften but it might actually be one of the most influential person in the whole Skyrim. By finding notes written by her and doing quests related to her family, you can tell she has links to The Dark brotherhood, the Thalmor, and obviously the thieves guild. Hell even the jarl of Riften obeys her commands.
You can see this by a note she sent to the jail. You see her grandson murdered a man so he was sent to prison. The note indicates direct instructions to NOT let him go free EVEN if he asks. Indicating that in normal circumstances, all it would take would be just saying the word "I am black briar" and you would be set free from any crime. She also demands him be treated with everything he asks for. And of course, the prison obeys.
Now Hemming is also part of the black briar family, the interesting thing about him however is that there was a lot of debate on whether he was actually Maven's husband or simply his kid. You see Mjoll refers to him as the son but every now and again you can see him sleeping right beside Maven on her own bed. Maven also refers to him with more familiarity than the other members of the family. It's not until you get into the Creation kit where you can actually see that Hemmings is tagged as her son, which then means that Sibbi and Ingun are her grandchildren.
Maven was actually always meant to have a husband in the game however, and this whole thing tells that Hemming was indeed meant to be her husband early in the developing process of the game. But then, where IS the husband. Maven never talks about him and we never figure out what happened to him. What we do know is that downstairs in the black briar manor there is a master locked door, and if you manage to open it...you will find a skeleton, a human heart, human flesh, and a note to the dark brotherhood. Nobody knows who this is but Maven apparently had been using the body to call the Dark Brotherhood. Could this be the husband?
The note implies that Maven wants somebody killed, and that apparently the dark brotherhood is not able or willing to do so. This is another mystery as nobody knows who she is actually trying to kill.
