Lasher is a powerful, shape-shifting entity who has been bound to the Mayfair witches for hundreds of years). He is a demon linked to the Mayfair family for generations, and his ultimate goal is to create a witch so powerful that she can conceive a child that would be strong enough to hold him in the world of the living. Lasher appears in the guise of a handsome, well-dressed man with good intentions, but his manipulative machinations are a facade for his true intentions. He has a hypnotically seductive power over any of the Mayfairs reckless enough to entertain him. Lashers history with the Mayfair family dates back to the 1600s when he revealed himself to Suzanne Mayfair in Donnelaith, Scotland. Their meeting began a generations-long relationship in which one member of each generation of the family, the designee, would be able to see and command Lasher and be gifted magical powers. Lasher has only his own intentions in mind, and his true origins remain a mystery.
