Lydia Blake

Edward’s great-aunt, Lydia is a rich old lady who acts solely of her own accord and judgment.

She continues to wear her widow's weeds ever since her husband’s passing 30 years ago, and is thereby considered an eccentric.

Lydia resides at Lane Hall, a London townhouse infamous for being haunted.

Lydia had barely any contact with the Edenic brothers, yet for some reason she provided Edward with a residence once she learns of his troubles.
