Lyssa von Zarovich

Lyssa von Zarovich is the grandniece of Count Strahd von Zarovich whom she has taken for an enemy. She is a potent vampire with strength beyond her years. As part of a scheme that was monumental in its madness she contributed, presumably as a necrologist, to the creation of the illithid vampire and so most probably has acquired at least a familiarity with the principles of biomancy. The creature proved to be as mad as the scheme and was of no use to her intention to reorganise matters in Barovia to her liking. Strahd's patient with Lyssa snapped eventually. The lord of Barovia, with the assistance of Emil Bollenbach and the golem Tom, poisoned Lyssa, condemning her to sleep long after sunset. Lyssa resides in Zeidenburg, at the opposite end of Barovia from Strahd.
