Is she mentioned only once in the entire series?

On page 667 of TTH a priestess/Temple Historian asks the High Priestess if they are at war and she says they are and the Historian asks if she will summon Feral.

"That dour creature? No, let the assassin stay in her tower. Leave her to lurk or whatever it is she does to occupy her time"

So is this just a throwaway line by Erikson or will we see a Tiste Andii assassin swoop in and take out a major character in the future?

must needs do reread, you bring up interesting thoughts

[Abyss]

I completely forgot this - GBM: what makes you say Tiste Andii?

[Harvester]

I guess the High Priestess is the Tiste Andii High Priestress in TTH, so I think the assassin should be Andii, too.

Yea, my mistake for not being more clear.

The High Priestess is the Andii who "uses" Spinnock and the Priestess/Temple Historian is also Andii..

Seems to suggest Feral is one of them, someone that could be summoned and would have some loyalty/shared interests.

Why she wasn't summoned is odd, apparently potential doom wasn't enough to make the High Priestess summon her...must not be a bundle of fun.

She didn't take any part in the various wars/battles the other Andii "warriors" did either..so either she is like Tays and is too bored to bother or Rake was holding her back to stab Shadowthrone right before he took the Ultimate God throne

do we know any of the names of the TA assasin mages from GotM?

[Silencer]

Yes; Korlat, Orfantal (dead), Serrat (dead). Plenty of others ref'd, though, iirc. However interesting that Feral (a rather Malazan name, isn't it?) was never mentioned in GotM. Perhaps someone directly tied to the religion of the Andii rather than a Night Hunter like the others. Or perhaps just someone who's moved up in the world with Serrat's death, and Korlat/Orfantal's long chase of Kallor. Who knows?

I definitely want to hear more, though. Likely in the Kharkanas trilogy, rather than TCG though. If at all.

Feral was mentioned in gardens of the moon as I'm sure she asks serat a question when their watching the Phoenix inn

Which edition of GotM do you have? Do you have a chapter/page reference for this? I can't find the name in mine, but it could be another case of differences between editions.

[Gorefest]

Don't think Feral is mentioned in GoTM. Only other hunter I can think of that hasn't yet been named is Horult.

Dashtal, Jekaral and Boruld are named amongst those who attack the meeting of the Darujhistan assassin's guild with Quick and Kalam. Dashtal was killed and the other two were injured by Kalam (Gardens of the Moon, Chapter 13, UK paperback, page 428).

There's also some confusion between GotM and MOI in terms of who is a Mage assassin and who is soletaken draconic, and/or both.

Me. I'm both.
