Anaster's mother was the first Woman of the Dead Seed.Memories of Ice, Chapter 12, US SFBC p.416
She was described as sun-darkened and wrinkled and something demonic lit her eyes from within.

The Pannion faith began when the Pannion Seer returned from the Mountain to Bastion speaking the Words of Truth. Accepting the first Embrasure, the citizens murdered the entirety of a caravan from Elingarth that was encamped outside the city walls. Amidst the massacre, Anaster was conceived and nine months later the first of the Children of the Dead Seed was born.Memories of Ice, Chapter 9, US SFBC p.344-346
Anaster became the leader of the Tenescowri and his mother followed him everywhere, stroking his hair or touching his shoulder. She was the only one allowed to approach him and was trailed by her own retinue of women who followed her example. Toc the Younger feared her the most of anyone in the Tenescowri.
After the end of the Siege of Capustan, the Tenescowri fled to the city's west where they were rounded up and remained listless under guard. When approached by Whiskeyjack, Anaster's bodyguard of women, his mother amongst them, spurred the horde to attack. Anomander Rake intervened, landing his Soletaken Eleint form among them and grabbing Anaster in his talons. But the youth was poison to the touch, forcing Rake to fling him clear. The Son of Darkness returned to his Tiste Andii form and began slaying the Women of the Dead Seed with his soul stealing sword, Dragnipur. Out of mercy, Whiskeyjack stopped Rake and proceeded to execute the remaining women, including Anaster's mother, with the more final method of his natural blade.Memories of Ice, Chapter 19, US SFBC p.680-684
