The Dean is the unseen main antagonist of the web series Carmilla The Series. She is the dean of Silas University, leader of a vampiric cult and the adopted mother of the titular Carmilla.

Carmilla The Series
Her origins are mostly unknown but she is at league with a mysterious and evil creature living under the university. The creature demands a virgin sacrifice every twenty years. When Carmilla as human, she was murdered at a ball, where she was found by the vampire who will be known as the dean, who resurrected her as a vampire. She forcibly recruited Carmilla into her cult, and had her befriend virginal girls so they can be abducted and sacrificed.

At one point, Carmilla fell in love with a girl named Ell, and decided to protect her. Carmilla's mother caught wind of this and revealed to Ell that Carmilla was a vampire in a horrific manner, before forcing Carmilla to watch as she sacrificed Ell to the creature. Carmilla was then buried alive in a coffin for decades, before being set free during World War II. Carmilla went into hiding before running into her "mother" again who forced her to rejoin the cult. Now feeling rebellious toward her, Carmilla settled for ruining the rituals in annoying ways, like sabotaging the girls who have been targeted.

At the time of the series, she has become the Dean of Silas University, the series setting. Carmilla has met the series protagonist Laura Hollis and her friends. Carmilla also becomes romantically attached to Laura. When the Dean finds out she uses an evil necklace to briefly possess Laura. She dotes Carmilla as a "dimond" much to Carmilla's disgust. She offers Carmilla a deal - she offers a student named Kirsch as a sacrifice, and she'll let Carmilla keep Laura as a pet.

The Dean is finally defeated during an offscreen (but recounted) battle - Laura and some of her friends find the cavern where the virgins are sacrificed by being thrown into a pit where the creature dwells. They confront the vampires themselves but are taken to a closet to be fed on later. They forgot to take Laura's phone so Laura manages to call her friend Danny who get two houses - Summer Society and Zeta - to come with her to the cavern, freeing Laura, and fighting the vampire cult head on. Suddenly, "The Light" which the creature uses as a lure rises from the pit and begins to draw Laura towards it. Laura is saved by Carmilla. Angered, the dean charges and fights Carmilla, who knocks her into the pit. Carmilla then stabs the heart of the light before diving into the pit as well. The vampires surrender, save for the dean, who climbs up the wall of the pit, warning them that they don't know what they're up against. Laura tells the dean that they're done with her and rolls a large boulder onto the dean, making her fall to the bottom of the pit and being sacrificed to the creature.

The next episode reveals the creature wasn't killed by mildly annoyed by Carmilla's stabbing and is apparently angered over the sacrifice gone wrong and his rousing beneath the university. The episode ends with a town emergency alarm being played.
