Biography
Maren, like the other priestesses of the Sisterhood, guarded the Sacred Flame and the Elixir of Life the flame produced, which could grant immortality. Maren generally distrusted the Time Lords.
During the war against the renegade Time Lord Morbius, as 'Reverend Mother', Maren advised the Hospice of Karn and had authority over who might receive a sip from the Elixir to heal them. Later she gathered the Sisterhood to assist the Fifth Doctor's vast multi-species army, the Alliance, to pool together the priestess's psychic powers to defeat Morbius. (PDA: Warmonger) After Morbius' trial, Maren watched his execution, little guessing at the time that his brain survived the destruction of his body. (DW: The Brain of Morbius)
Decades later, the Fourth Doctor encountered Maren for the first time, though, in Maren's personal timeline the two had already met. (The Doctor had used an alias at that time.) (PDA: Warmonger) The Sacred Flame appeared to be dying. She suspected the Doctor of attempting to steal the remaining Elixir. However, the Doctor later "fixed" the flame by dropping a firecracker down its shaft, showing the problem was simply that a build-up of soot was choking the oxygen from the Flame. Later, she gave up her ration of Elixir to save the Doctor's life, and died in the Sacred Flame. Maren's most trusted priestess, Ohica, succeeded her. (DW: The Brain of Morbius)
- The Sisterhood of Karn originated on Gallifrey during the Dark Times, making Maren biologically Gallifreyan, if not culturally.
