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. Mara's reign is described in the book, The Maraid.
Biography
The Queen of the Awoken is as much an enigma as the Reef she rules. It is said that she won her crown through ruthlessness, and that she stands as master of the Fallen House of Wolves in place of their defeated Kell.
The City's rise spells an end to the Reef's age of isolation. The Queen will surely look to this new era as an opportunity. And the City, in turn, must look to her. The Reefborn Awoken have spent long ages out on the edge of everything, and they may know secrets of terrible weight - the Queen most of all.
Biography
Mara allied with the Nine, the rulers of the Jovians, during her war with the House of Wolves. She possesses expansionistic inclinations.
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.
When Oryx invaded the System, Mara Sov met him in battle at Saturn's Rings. Her fleet challenged the Taken King in an effort to protect the Reef from further incursion, but it was decisively defeated by the Dreadnaught's primary weapon. In the immediate aftermath, Mara was nowhere to be found and feared dead by her own people. Despite such a staggering loss, it was all seemingly part of a plan Mara had formulated in secret with Eris Morn. The entire battle was simply a delaying action; in using the Dreadnaught's weapon, Oryx destroyed most of his own fleet as well as the Awoken ships, forcing him to hold back from advancing into the inner system. The Awoken's sacrifice bought Earth and the Guardians enough time to react and take the fight to Oryx.
No body had been recovered after the battle, but signs that her ship had not been totally obliterated were recovered by Taken champions, which were later acquired and passed on to Petra. After a search through the Dreadnaught, there was still no sign of the Queen, but Petra continues to hope that she survived. Uldren, who survived the battle, also suspected that the Queen survived, as he could still sense her.
