The overarching antagonist of Anne Rice's Mayfair Witches, Lasher is the show's most mysterious and dangerous entity. Played by Jack Huston, Lasher is a charming but villainous force in the show's first season. As the show progresses, his machinations come more into the light, as well as his deep history with the Mayfair Witches characters that stretches back to the earliest days of their magical line.

Lasher's powers and plans prove to be a driving force in the season, especially once he finds Rowan and begins to manipulate her for his own goals. This ends up being the key to the ending of Mayfair Witches season 1, which ultimately gives Rowan everything he wanted and set up the demon for a more ambitious Mayfair Witches season 2. Here's how Lasher plays into the history of the Mayfair Witches and how his schemes impact the AMC adaptation of Anne Rice's novels.
