5’11. Missing two fingers on his left hand, his ring finger and pinky. Face almost always obscured by shadow.

8’0 tall. Vampire adjacent. Has three daughters, Bela, Cassandra, and Daniela. Alcina Dimitrescu was born into the noble Dimitrescu family sometime before the Great War, and through this ancestry inherited a hereditary blood disease, possibly porphyria cutanea tarda. Prior to 1958, at the age of 44, Dimitrescu was lured by the cult leader, Mother Miranda, to a crypt beneath the village cemetery, where she was surgically implanted with a Cadou parasite. The purpose of this experiment was to determine her viability as a candidate who could become host to a parasitic intelligence at a later date. This experiment mutated Alcina's body considerably, granting her regenerative capabilities, retractable claw-like nails, and the ability to transform into a dragon-like monster and back again. Moreover, the parasite halted her aging process, maintaining her appearance perpetually. In spite of these impressive biological changes, the resulting mutation did not nullify her blood disease, requiring her to partake in a steady supply of fresh human blood to maintain her health. Her newfound ability to regenerate also resulted in her growing to inhuman proportions, which could result in her growing uncontrollably if left unsupervised. Miranda therefore judged Dimitrescu to be a failure.

6’0. Cocky, smart. Heisenberg was kidnapped and subjected to the Cadou parasite experiments by Mother Miranda, who tried to brainwash him into being her servant, with only limited success. Eventually, he, Alcina Dimitrescu, Donna Beneviento, and Salvatore Moreau became Miranda's lieutenants. Among the Lords of the Four Houses, Heisenberg was the only one who held a grudge against Miranda, due to her own selfish desire to revive her late daughter at the expense of the villagers and how she saw their "family" as nothing more than experiments. As such, he secretly planned a rebellion to get his freedom back, building an army of cyborgized reanimated corpses and hoping to use Rose's latent powers to defeat Miranda. At one point, he attempted to persuade Ethan to join him, but the latter refused upon Heisenberg revealing his plan to weaponize Rose. The Heisenberg family was closely associated with the noble Beneviento, Moreau, and Dimitrescu families, and maintained an alliance with them in controlling the region. According to sources, Heisenberg rarely strayed from his family's factory, preferring to hole himself up in its walls.

5’11, speaks solely through Angie, her doll she puppets. Donna was born into the gentry of House Beneviento sometime during the 20th century, a family with ancestral links to Berengario, a man rumored in folklore to have been an ancient mutant nobleman who settled the region with three other houses from which the Dimitrescu, Moreau and Heisenberg families are descended. Over the century, the Benevientos slowly fell apart; Donna's parents committed suicide when she was still a child, and with her own mental health problems undiagnosed, she would develop deep-seated anxieties which kept her largely isolated, preferring to talk to people through Angie, a doll made for her by her father. Donna's adulthood mostly focused on her hobby of doll-making. At some point in adulthood, she was implanted with the Cadou parasite by Mother Miranda, a prophet of the Black God. She survived the experiment, gaining the ability to secrete a psychoactive chemical through plants, which could induce extreme, even violent hallucinations in people. She was, however, judged to be a failure by Miranda. In spite of this, Donna was welcomed as an adopted daughter and given a council seat as one of the Four Lords of the village, ruling it alongside Alcina, Karl, and Salvatore under Miranda's oversight.

Angie was built sometime in the 20th century by Donna's father, who was himself a doll-maker. Donna suffered from severe interpersonal anxieties owing to a mental health problem, but through Angie she was able to take on a new persona as the doll and speak to people. After Donna herself was implanted with a Cadou parasite sometime after 1996, she had part of the parasite's body surgically removed and planted within Angie. The two Cadou formed together a smaller colony, allowing Donna to puppet and command the doll to move from a distance. Due to Donna's hallucinatory abilities, it is unclear if Donna could speak through Angie's Cadou or if this was simple ventriloquism.

Miranda was an Eastern European biologist and cult leader who ruled over an isolated mountain village. After losing her only daughter to the Spanish flu, she became infected by the Mold in a nearby cave. Gaining vast knowledge and superhuman powers from the it, she pioneered research on the mysterious fungus and used it to conduct experiments on local villagers over the next century, hoping to find the perfect vessel to revive her daughter. She became a religious figure, Mother Miranda, who ruled over the Four Lords; she was the mentor of Oswell E. Spencer; and she provided The Connections the Mold to create Eveline. In February 2021, she abducted the infant Rosemary Winters for her purpose.
