A mummified priestess and Will's foster mother. She instructed him on essential daily tasks. She frequently serves him bread, which Will later discovers was obtained through prayer, making the act of eating it a form of communion. Mary had vowed to live in accordance with the will of Mater, the earth-mother, but was forced to make a contract with Stagnate, the god of the undead, to sustain their existence and guard the seal of the Demon High King, whom Blood, Mary, and Gus failed to kill. Due to this betrayal, Mary catches fire every time she prays to Mater.
