The fire thing was intentional; I had in my original brainstorming of visual motifs the idea that fire=safety, and decided to make it explicit, that anytime Bathory was around, the fires went out if he came too close. Thanks for pointing out that it was confusing; I'll go back and say something like, "Even though it had just been lit, the fire was now cold, blah blah."

I didn't know Janos was a name associated with Elizabeth Bathory! I picked it because it was a common Hungarian name, but also because to me it's reminiscent of Janus, which is pretty relevant to his character. I went back and looked at her wikipedia but didn't see his name anywhere; what did you read?
