History

Background

Nothing is known about Masons job or life before the freeze, or her exact relationship with Wilford.

She is second in command to Wilford on the train, a spokesperson and hype-woman for the leader. When the film begins, she has worked for the last 17 years disseminating propaganda about Wilford. She pummels the rear section with abuses to ensure they are in line with what is expected of them.

Throughout the film

Minister Mason appeared at the Tail section to punish Andrew for the shoe that he throws at Claude and injured her. She froze the man's arm while giving speech to the Tail passengers. Gilliam asked her if he could speak to Mr. Wilford, but Mason disagree and told him to pass the message to her, which Gilliam refused.

Mason appeared again when Snowpiercer is about to pass the Yekatrina Bridge. She commands the soilders to fight the Tailie rebels, in which they lost and Mason got captured as a hostage. Mason leads Curtis, Minsoo, Yona, Tanya, Andrew and Grey through more cars uptrain.

When they reaches the classroom, there was a fight which Teacher killed Andrew, and Grey killed the Teacher. The television in the classroom changed to how Gilliam is killed by Franco the Elder. Curtis then executes her as a revenge. She is stuck in her undying loyalty to Wilford.

Personality

Minister Mason was seen as a cruel and sadistic leader onboard Snowpiercer. She seems to enjoy the torture and maiming of people, such as her commandment of Andrew's arm freezing. She also shows a extreme respect and admiration for Wilford, regularly berating the Tail for their disorder towards him.
