Four Lords serve Mother Miranda in Resident Evil Village.
The four Lords are Alcina Dimitrescu, Donna Beneviento, Salvatore Moreau, and Karl Heisenberg. Each controls a distinct territory near the village and possesses a different form of the Cadou parasite. Their domains provide the game’s major areas and boss encounters after Ethan Winters enters the isolated settlement.
The Lords are not equal in personality or power. Dimitrescu rules from her castle, Beneviento uses psychological manipulation, Moreau governs the reservoir, and Heisenberg commands industrial machinery and metal-manipulating abilities. Their different designs help divide the campaign into sharply contrasting horror episodes.
Players sometimes count Mother Miranda among the Lords because she is the central ruler of the village. The game, however, presents her separately as the leader who created and controlled the four subordinate Lords.
