</ref> She has been described as having Rulon "wrapped around her little finger" and as a "political creature." Being the wife of prophet Rulon Jeffs and the mother of prophet Warren Jeffs has secured her place in the FLDS hierarchy. Brent W. Jeffs, nephew of Steed, stated "She was always trying to shame you with her virtue and then she'd stick the knife in when your back was turned." Family The first son born to Steed and Jeffs was Leroy Steed Jeffs. On December 3, 1955, Steed prematurely gave birth in San Francisco to Warren, the second son of Rulon and Steed. Warren became her favorite child, and she encouraged his ambitions. Eventually, Warren would take control of the FLDS after his father died. When he was arrested after a long federal manhunt, Steed came to visit him while in carceration. She also attended Warren's trial in court, with her first court appearance being in July 2007. Other children included Seth, Lyle, Isaac and Nephi, among others. Being married to Rulon made Steed sister-wife of Rebecca Musser, another wife of Rulon.
