Mara Sov

Mara Sov is the Queen of the Reef, one of the few settlements outside of the City. She is simultaneously the ruler of the Awoken in the Reef and the Kell of the House of Wolves. Her aloof and enigmatic demeanor belie a ruthless nature, but she is not above helping others - for a price. She will refer to the player as "it", regardless of whether they're Awoken or not. Living on the edge of civilized space, so close to the darkness, the Queen knows many secrets, including how to enter the Black Garden. She allied with the Nine, the rulers of the Jovians, during her war with the House of Wolves. She possesses expansionistic inclinations.

Mara's war with the Wolves happened because she realized that if the Wolves succeeded in joining the other Fallen houses during the Battle of Twilight Gap, the City would fall. Rather than risk losing a potential ally in order to remain hidden, she launched a surprise attack on the Fallen at Ceres. She succeeded in not only killing their Kell Virixas, but also pitting the remaining Wolf leaders against one another. Once she had enough strength and support, she overthrew the most dangerous leaders and set herself up as Kell.
