Laszlo Ferrari was a gypsy who lived in Collinsport in 1840. He was also a servant to Angelique. Laszlo first appeared in the fall of 1840 when he was venturing to the Collins Mausoleum to check on Barnabas' coffin with Angelique. Angelique and Laszlo visited the mausoleum once a year to make sure Barnabas was still chained in his coffin (although Laszlo did not know what was inside the coffin, nor why they visited the mausoleum every year). When Angelique saw that the coffin was empty, she ordered Laszlo to go to Collinwood to see if anyone knew about someone named Barnabas Collins. Laszlo went to Collinwood and saw Barnabas there, and then immediately excused himself to report the news to Angelique (1130).
