Spotting her, it just seems that her Possessions works differently to Corvo's. The other unknown woman's Possession also works differently to Corvo's, so that is not without precedent.

As for who she was, I don't really believe that it's that important. As Tynan led the first of the titular Great Trials, it's unlikely he was High Overseer directly before Campbell, meaning that none of the known recipients of Arcane Bond exist at that time, so it is more likely that the individuals in this book are marked directly. As for who they are, we can say that they are not any of the characters encountered in the franchise, and it's unlikely that we will ever know. I don't believe that the developers ever worked it out. All we and they know is that there are more marked individuals than those encountered, and they will spend their days shrouded in mystery.
