The Duchess Gertrude was a powerful woman in France. She was searching the far ends of the globe for three Stones of Power that would supposedly reveal an incredible trove of knowledge when all three were united. She was never able to find them, but she did find a map of the temple in China where one of the stones was supposedly hidden. In 1604, the witch Countess Margaret Isobel Thoreaux stole the map so that she could find the stones for herself.

The Duchess had Isobel and her companions captured and burned at the stake. Gertrude was cursed to have the Countess Thoreaux return to exact revenge on her and her descendants.

She is an ancestor of and closely resembles Genevieve Teague.

Lana had a strange dream in which she witnessed Gertrude yell at Isobel Thoreaux during Isobel's execution. The next day, she met Gertrude's descendant, Genevieve Teague, and noticed their eerie resemblance.
