I removed the following:

• The name Mara has negative connotations in many cultures and languages; in Hebrew and Aramaic it means bitterness, in Sanskrit and Pandi it means death-bringing or destroying, and it is associated with nightmares and horror is numerous European folklores.

Unless there is some citation that the name was chosen for this reason, this isn't relevant to this character.– Cleanse 04:40, November 17, 2009 (UTC)
