Hector Fawley
British Minister of Magic in 1920’s & 30s, underestimates Grindelwald. [Fired in 1939 and replaced shortly before Grindelwald's defeat in 1945]
Ireena
Izek Strazni
The best explanation for Izek's arm has to do with the Dark Powers that entrapped Strahd in the demiplane in the first place. The Dark Powers cultivate evil, and then entrap it in a karmic prison if it becomes bad enough. Part of how they cultivate evil is that when beings living under their purview perform deliberate acts of evil--they may notice and bestow a gift and a curse upon that individual. Early on, the gifts tend to outweigh the curses...but as you continue down the path of corruption, the Dark Powers are gradually transforming you into some sort of monstrous creature. Most evil beings just end up eventually turning into a monster, and that's the end of it. But if you do something spectacularly evil, you might get your own demiplane that serves as a karmic prison (i.e. your own personal hell). (Source)
Izek's arm is a dead-wringer for the arm of a Barbed Devil. Even the 'Hurl Flame' feature is identical. He is a cruel individual who uses force and intimidation to terrify people into doing what he wants, and the book calls out that even as a child, he was murdering other children for making fun of him. This certainly sounds like the sort of person that the Dark Powers would close in on. So, it could very well be that his Arm is a gift from the Dark Powers (perhaps his 'curse' has to do with the fact that any attempt at Persuasion is going to be hampered by the scary freaking demon arm). (Source)
A way this could play out in-game is that if Izek survives for any real length of time...especially if he starts doing terrible things to Ireena...could result in the Dark Powers continuing his transformation. (Harming innocents and, especially, family members is a phenomenal way to get the Dark Powers' attention) He could continue becoming more and more monstrous the more terrible things he does, until he ultimately turns into a creature much like a Barbed Devil.

North American Wandmakers
Violetta Beauvais
* All of the wands she produced were made from swamp mayhaw wood.[2] For many years, she kept the core she used in her wands a closely-guarded secret, but it was eventually discovered to be rougarou hair.[2] Beauvais's wands were often accused of having a natural affinity for Dark magic.[2] However, many great American wizards of the 1920s used Beauvais-made wands, including President Seraphina Picquery.[2]
Shikoba Wolfe
* Of Chocktaw descent, Wolfe was best known for crafting wands that were intricately carved. Wands made by Wolfe contained Thunderbird tail feathers as cores and were generally believed to be extremely powerful, but difficult to master. They were especially sought after by practitioners of Transfiguration.[2] * (http://harrypotter.wikia.com/wiki/Shikoba_Wolfe)
Thiago Quintana
* Quintana's wands caused a sensation when they were first introduced.[3] Sleek and unusually long in design, they produced spells of "force and elegance". They contained a single spine taken from the back of one of the White River Monsters native to Arkansas.[3] Initially, there were fears that the species was being over-fished, but the ecological impact was lessened by the fact that only Quintana knew how to lure the creatures.[3] He fiercely guarded this secret up until his death, after which wands containing White River Monster spine cores were no longer made.[3]
Johannes Jonker
* Jonker was born to No-Maj parents. His father was a successful cabinet maker, which presumably gave him early experience with wood-working, and allowed him to become a skilled wandmaker in his own right.[2] Jonker's wands were in great demand and could be easily identified by the mother-of-pearl inlay they typically contained.[2] Jonker experimented with several different wand cores before settling on hair of the Wampus cat as his preferred kind.[2] * By 1926, he was a known wandmaker and listed on the Magical Congress of the United States of America's Wand Permit form.[3]
