Apsal'ara by Puck

Interpretation of Apsal'ara by Puck

Apsal'ara, also known as Apsalar was an Ascendant revered by the thieves of Darujhistan as the Lady of Thieves. [1] She was also referred to as Mistress of Thieves.[2]


History

She was an Imass[3] (or very nearly Imass)[4] slain by Anomander Rake using Dragnipur after she had tried to stab the Tiste Andii lord in the back. The altercation had occurred in Moon's Spawn long before the series began.


Spoiler warning: The following section contains significant plot details about Apsal'ara.

In Toll the Hounds

She appeared in Dragnipur lying on the wheels of the wagon, the closest of all to escaping her chains. She managed to shatter the chains by pushing them close to the Gate of Darkness. Rake, on his one day in Dragnipur, set her free.

In The Crippled God

She went to Anomander Rake's son Nimander, the now leader of the Tiste Andii, seeking answers, joining Nimander's personal staff. She later became his lover. She fought at the breach at Lightfall alongside Withal. She was seen flirting with Kalam Mekhar after the last battle.

Significant plot details end here.

Trivia

Sorry took the name Apsalar after Crokus Younghand told her about the Lady of Thieves.

Quotes

"Pluck a flower from a field and it will not thrive. Take and beauty dies, and that which one possesses becomes worthless. I am a thief. I take but do not keep. All I gain I cast away. I take your wealth only because you value it.
I am Apsal’ara, Mistress of Thieves. Only you need fear me, you who lust to own.
"
―Apsal’ara[src]
