Biography[]
Working at the American Sanctuary[]

Marr is first introduced in Dark Days as Remus Crux's replacement. When the plan to retrieve Skulduggery's original skull goes horribly wrong, she arrives the arrest the group. She then interrogates Valkyrie, forcing her down. However, she is then overpowered and the group escape.
Later when Skulduggery is reinstated as the Sanctuary detective, Davina is given the menial job of checking all the castles in Ireland for the Revengers' Club's base. Rather disgruntled Marr makes a deal with several mysterious figures to blow up the Sanctuary. She succeeds by controlling Myron Stray using his True Name and telling him to activate the Desolation Engine. She then goes into hiding.
