- Accompanies Fenris to the meeting with his sister.

- Danarius later sends a letter with money, an invitation and the confirmation that Fenris' memories have been wiped out.
- When the Right of Annulment is invoked following the explosion at the Chantry, she sides with the mages. Marian tells Anders that he could have trusted her.
