Nimander's beloved

Nimander's beloved was a Tiste Andii woman Nimander Golit had been in a relationship with on Drift Avalii. She died at the hands of the Tiste Edur who invaded the Floating Isle seeking control of the Throne of Shadow for the Crippled God, but Nimander often heard her words still speaking to him in his head. She referred to Anomander Rake as her grandsire.

Nimander heard her speaking in his head on Second Maiden Fort where she spoke of a prophecy that might be satisfied by the one who "carries the gates" to the way home to the embrace of Mother Dark. He begged her to stop speaking, saying the prophecy was not for him. She had been the source of his courage and it had died with her.Reaper's Gale, Chapter 16, US HC p.471-472

While following Clip to Black Coral, the voice of Nimander's beloved spoke to him in his head telling him not to fret--she waited for him and he was stronger than he knew. Her words were cut off by the sneering voice of Phaed, who had died on Second Maiden Fort. Phaed claimed Nimander's beloved knew nothing and was lying to him.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 4, US SFBC p.122
In a later visitation, Phaed introduced the idea that Nimander's relationship with the woman was a delusion based only on a willful misinterpretation of chance smiles and looks. Phaed claimed to have been the one that killed her when no one was watching during one of the Edur attacks.Toll the Hounds, Chapter 6, US SFBC p.208
