Marian Whitelaw was a Shadowhunter and the former head of the New York Institute. She was the wife of Adam Whitelaw and the adoptive mother of the Whitelaw children.
History[]
Unable to have children of their own, Marian and her husband adopted Rachel and some other Whitelaw cousins after the death of their parents, caring for them as if they were their own. They're care for young children extended to any Shadowhunter who came to their Institute.
In 1989, the entire family died while defending a werewolf pack from the Circle. Marian was cut in half by Valentine Morgenstern himself, though ultimately the Clave blamed their deaths on the werewolves.[1]
