Lasher is an evil spirit that has been with the Mayfair family for generations. An evil, shape-shifting spirit that gets his power from bonding with the Mayfair family heir of every generation. But in exchange for doing his partner's bidding, the all-encompassing demon demands their love and devotion.
But no matter what Ciprien and the Talamasca or Carlotta and her Christianity may think about it, Lasher insists he is wholly devoted to Rowan and her desires.
But after the two made love in this other realm, Lasher left Rowan to go through a haunting tour of her family lineage. To her horror, Rowan's pregnancy rapidly progressed in this transition, revealing the purpose of the 13th witch in this prophecy: she was the doorway for Lasher to come into the real world.
With the necklace, Ciprien seeks to learn how the connection between Lasher and the Mayfairs began, ultimately discovering that Lasher saved Suzanne Mayfair from certain death in 1681 and was bound to them ever since.
