The Countess
From Diablo Wiki
The Countess is the boss of an optional quest in Act I, which involves seeking the riches hidden underneath the remains of her tower. She is said to have bathed in the blood of a hundred virgins in life and to have been buried in her tower. She is a Super Unique Dark Stalker found in the 5th level of the Forgotten Tower in Act I of Diablo II and must be killed in order to complete The Forgotten Tower quest.
Be careful not to bring her out of her room, as if she is too far, she will not trigger the event that unlocks the chest in the middle of the room.
Compared to the other monsters around her, she has a higher chance to drop runes, which is useful to know at Nightmare and Hell difficulty. She can drop up to Io Rune in Nightmare difficulty, up to Mal Rune in Hell difficulty. She can drop the Key of Terror in Hell difficulty, which can be used in the Pandemonium Event.
Bonus:
On Hell, Countess is always immune to Cold and Fire.

- The Countess is reminiscent of the real Erzsébet Báthory, a Hungarian countess who was rumored to have bathed in the blood of virgins to retain her beauty and youth. In addition, Erzsébet Báthory was punished for her crimes by being entombed within her castle alive, much like the fate of The Countess.
