Sev only saw three figures, and Hildegrin was the only one who came out 
of hiding, but the evidence of the Pelerine cloak suggests someone else 
was there that night. I don't think it was left by an earlier necromancy 
attempt by the Pelerines, as Sev seems to think. He touched it as soon 
as he started to get up (Claw XXXI). The location coincidence is too 
great. The person wearing it probably rushed out to help Sev, and 
perished like Hildegrin when she got too close.

That would explain a curious omission in Citadel. After speaking to Ouen 
and learning of Catherine, Sev never tells us that he followed up to see 
if the Katharine of the elevation ceremony was his mother. He might have 
omitted this if he didn't want to admit to himself and to us that he 
caused his mother's death.

I found another bit of evidence that I don't think has been mentioned 
about Merryn as Sev's sister. In Citadel IV, Sev has a fever dream and 
in it Merryn says, "Ah, sister, you have come at last." (Sev is Thecla 
at the time).
