In Vampyr, former doctor Thelma Howcroft is now a patient at Pembroke Hospital. She's a bit deluded and suffers from a nasty condition called Cotard's syndrome. This is a disease in her body that rots her from the inside out!
Like other NPC quests in Vampyr, such as Cadogan Bates and Nurse Dorothy Crane, you'll get the choice as Jonathan Reid whether to embrace or kill her. You'll encounter Thelma Howcroft as part of the Wrong Target mission.
