Marthe

Marthe is the housekeeper at Sept-Tours. She has gnarled hands, a husky voice, loves to sing, and enjoys love songs and reading murder mysteries. She also greatly enjoys cooking and making her own blends of tea, despite being a vampire.

Background
Marthe is introduced in A Discovery of Witches as Ysabeau de Clermont's housekeeper. She prefers to speak in Occitan, the old French tongue when around vampire company.

Marthe sired Philippe's squire, Alain Le Merle, as Philippe could not do without him in peacetime or war.

The Book of Life
It is revealed that Marthe was already a vampire when Ysabeau was sired, and helped Ysabeau to recover from the torture she had suffered at her maker's hands.
