Gwen Lieber (Tanit Phoenix) was a villainess from Lost Boys: The Thirst (2010).
Plot[]
Gwen Lieber was an author of vampire novels who approached vampire hunter Edgar Frog and asked for his help regarding her missing brother, Peter, because she suspected that he fell in with a bad crowd and disappeared during one of the raves thrown by DJ X, whom Peter was following.
Gwen always knew about vampires and told Edgar that if he took this job, it could be the last job he needed to take, as she believed DJ X to be the head vampire, and that he intended to sacrifice Peter during the rave in order to turn everyone there into vampires.
Edgar initially turned Gwen down at first, but he later changed his mind, then appeared at her hotel room and accepted her offer, while also voicing his displeasure over her novels. Gwen brought along Lars von Goetz, a former reality TV star, and Claus, a camera operator, hoping to use the mission to save their careers. She was also introduced by Edgar to Zoe, his helpful friend and fellow vampire hunter.
During the first attempt to rescue Peter, Gwen was told by Edgar to wait outside the vampires' lair. However, after Lars was killed and Edgar was injured, he, Zoe and Claus made their escape. The rescue team finally decided to go back into the lair to finish the job; only this time, Gwen joined them.
It was only after Edgar killed DJ X, with the help of his brother Alan, and rescued Peter that the truth was revealed: Gwen was the true co-conspirator with the real alpha vampire, Peter. Gwen's plan all along was to bring Edgar to Peter, whose plan was to transform him into his personal vampire hitman in order to keep his subordinate vampires in line. Regarding her true motive, the evil and traitorous Gwen stated that she wanted to become a vampire herself, and that she did not want to grow old. But rather than turn Gwen into a vampire, Peter ripped out her throat, killing her instantly.

And three weeks ago, he went to Ibiza, to this rave party thing... and he disappeared. He started following around this guy, DJ X. He throws these events called X-Parties. The same people that are throwing this party are throwing similar parties all over the world. And at these raves, they're handing out this new designer drug. It's called the Thirst. It comes in little ampoules like this one. Nobody has seen him since. Edgar, they are using these raves to breed an army of vampires. They're creating their own global pandemic.
