*CompleteMonster: The [[TheVamp vampiric]], [[SnakePeople serpentine]] Lady Sylvia Marsh [[FauxAffablyEvil poses]] as an erudite WomanOfWealthAndTaste to lure in victims. A servant of the snake god Dionin, Sylvia was incensed when Christianity came to Britain, spurring on the slaughter of holy men and women with nuns raped and impaled in massive numbers. In the present, Sylvia spreads her venom to create more snakelike monsters, murdering those she deems useless, and plots to [[VirginSacrifice sacrifice]] a woman in her annual ceremony for Dionin, the sacrifice achieved via being violated by Sylvia with a sharp object.
