Mare

Known facts

implicated-betrayerMost of the crew believes Mare was the one who betrayed Kelsier to the Lord Ruler before the Pits — she was nearly alone in being positioned to do it, and the Lord Ruler himself named her to Kelsier's face. She was sent to the Pits with him and died there. Kelsier never learned whether the accusation was true.MB1:TFE:Ch 16
tineyeMare was a Tineye. Her fascination with pre-Ascension lore — flowers, green plants, the world before the ash — drew her into the Misting underground and then to Kelsier.MB1:TFE:Ch 17
gave-kelsier-her-geodeThe week Mare died in the Pits, she handed Kelsier one of her atium geodes and told him she had found two that week. She had not — he learned the lie only after he had turned the geode in. She was beaten to death the next day in front of him. He has never been able to settle whether the gift was love or guilt.MB1:TFE:Ch 21
her-faith-the-larsta-supplied-the-poems-that-restored-flowersMare is the reason the new world has flowers in it. Her religion — the Larsta — preserved poems describing the beautiful pre-Ascension plants in enough detail that Sazed, at the moment of Ascension, could use them to restore the species the ashmounts had killed. The single dried flower Kelsier kept, then Vin, reached its destination by being remembered.MB1:HoA:Ch 82
