Jane Austen: and here we have the love interest. He might have some issues, but once you get to know him, he's a great guy. Good looking, heart of gold, the works.
Charlotte Brontë: get ready for the weirdest man you have ever met.
Judith Straud & Avelina Lunvik, (ex)wives of Vlad & Greg. ("Lost" by choice, not by death.)
Years and years ago Vlad and Greg turned each other's wives to spite each other, and Judith and Avelina were so sick of their husbands' petty little rivalry that they left them both and fucked off together instead. With Avelina's science and Judith's money and ambition they worked together to stave off the worst of their conditions' effects. (Unlike their ex-husbands, who've both given into their monstrous natures.) Nowadays they're still together and doing pretty damn good, actually--they're co-CEOs of their occult pharmaceutical company. (Ever wonder who manufactures the plasma packs you order online? L&S Pharma, baby!)
