| “ | No love is greater than a mother's love for her son. I am the mother of Strahd. Anyone who disputes this fact can rot. I will not rest until the last of my son's enemies are destroyed. | „ |

Summary
Baba Lysaga is a hag, a follower of Mother Night who acted as Strahd's midwife when he was an infant. After the deaths of his parents and his ascension to immortality, Baba Lysaga claimed Strahd as her child. When he was a baby, she implanted the touch of magic in Strahd, allowing him to become what he is today. However, she was banished from Barovia for her unhealthy attachment to the child.
Though banished, she made use of her ties to the dark goddess to afflict Strahd's mother with disease and death. Afterwards, she followed Strahd as closely as she could without coming into direct contact with the vampire- she feared rejection, and instead influenced him from shadow.
