Political and military information
Affiliation:	The Reef Queen's Wrath
Rank:	Queen

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.

Biography

Mara allied with the Nine, the rulers of the Jovians, during her war with the House of Wolves.

Mara initiated the Reef Wars 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. With the help of Variks, The Loyal, she overthrew the remainder of the House and set herself up as Kell.

Mara helped a Guardian gain entrance to the Black Garden, despite the protests of her brother. She made it clear, however, that she had granted the Guardian a favor, and would expect them to answer her summons if the Awoken needed an ally. That time came when the House of Wolves revolted, killing many of her personal guard, and abandoning the Reef. She ordered that the Reef be opened up to the Guardians.
