[edit] In the Books
Madame Truska was the one who gave Darren his pirate costume. Truska is from a strange land, and initially spoke in a language that sounds like a seal's bark, but Evra later taught her how to speak English. Apparently, she went skinny dipping in "the deep blue" with Vancha March. She can also use her beard as a weapon.
In the The Lake of Souls she says that her husband and daughter were killed by an evil fisherman. When we go on to read the book, Darren and Harkat come across a pirate fisherman called Spits Abrams who is a cannibal. So it could be that Truska's husband and daughter were killed, cooked and eaten by Spits.
[edit] In the Movie
Madame Truska is nothing like her book character. She can still grow her beard but that is where the similarities end. She doesn't speak in a foreign language and is dating Larten Crepsley. She can also tell prophesies. She knew that something bad would happen if he blooded Darren. However, she seemed to like Darren and accepted him into The Cirque Du Freak with a lot of others.
