Audrey Green is the mother of Marlow Green and Danny Green, introduced in *Hellraisers*.

## Appearance

Audrey is a presumably middle-aged woman, who is frequently described as having a disheveled, tired look to her appearance and manner of dress. She is first described wearing a velour jumpsuit and having long, unbrushed hair.

## Personality

Audrey is a deeply depressed woman suffering from alcoholism since the death of her first son Danny. She often takes out her anger and grief onto Marlow in harsh comments about his attitude and constantly comparing him to his dead older brother, whom she often reminisces about being a brave hero.

Marlow describes his mother's intoxicated state as being quiet and parasitical in nature, as opposed to loud and destructive to her surroundings. Audrey does care for Marlow in some regards, hugging him and trying her best to get him to improve his track record and pursue a better path in like. She admits to have deeply loved Marlow, but due to the nature of his conception she found herself just as fearful of what he may come, and regretful of her decision in the first place

## Main Story

### Hellraisers

Audrey is first introduced in *Hellraisers* after Marlow is released from police custody. When he returns back to his home, he finds her drinking alone. She confronts Marlow's lie about him staying at Charlie's home the past few days and reveals that she'd been informed by the school about his expulsion. She's dismayed over Marlow throwing away his last chance and wishes for Danny's guidance. On top of this, she describes Marlow's promises and lies being exactly like his father's, which promptly sets Marlow off to leave home once more.

### Hellfighters

Audrey does not make a direct appearance in *Hellfighters*, though Marlow sends her an email from his hotel room to warn her of impending danger, and tells her that he loves her.

### Hellwalkers

In Hellwalkers, it is revealed that in the aftermath of Danny's death, Audrey made a contract with Ostheim for another child, which is how Marlow was born. Fueled by the power of the Devil's heart, Marlow tears up Staten Island back to his home to confront her on the vision he saw of her contract, to which she admits to agreeing to in her grief. She confesses that while she did love him, she could not forget where Marlow had come from and what he was destined to become. Though Marlow was intended to be a puppet for the Devil, Audrey's genuine love and care for him made Marlow a person of his own agency, though later in life Marlow the seeds of strife and rebellion began to reflect on his character.

In a cathartic moment of raw emotion, Marlow destroys their family home before being confronted by Pan and their eventual leave from the location. It is unclear whether or not Audrey died in the initial destruction, though a now level headed Marlow promises to find her after closing the gates of hell.

## Relationships

### Marlow Green

Marlow is Audrey's second son, she both cares for and deeply fears him at the same time. Though she'd started to spiral and drink regularly in the years after taking him into her care, in the early years of his life she'd raised him just like she did with Danny, even bringing home their family dog Donovan home as a puppy to provide Marlow companionship, and teaching Marlow how to handle his asthma attacks. Marlow for the most part loves his mother back in turn, but tends to remember her later years of neglect and mistreatment of him with the constant comparisons to Danny.

### Danny Green

Danny is Audrey's first son, who had previously died during military service ten years prior to the start of the story. Audrey continues to mourn her son in that time, and consistently describes Danny as being a brave, selfless hero, often trying to seek his guidance after his passing during her times of struggle.
