Strahd von Zarovich

Oh, I just know this is the start of a beautiful friendship!

-Strahd addressing Harp

Count Strahd von Zarovich is the dark lord of Barovia, an extremely powerful wizard, and above all else, a vampire. He has ruled over Barovia from his seat in Castle Ravenloft for over six centuries.

Appearance
Strahd looks like Dracula but hot I guess? He has a very noble face, framed by long, straight jet-black hair that contrasts greatly with his porcelain skin. His red eyes are piercing and intelligent, and rarely miss a thing.

Strahd dresses as a Count should- adorned in fine silks of red, black, white and purple and yet layers his clothing with the garb of a warrior of his region. His fur cape is draped over beautiful silver armour.

The Campaign
The Party are aware of Strahd's desire for Ireena Kolyana, although his true intentions for her are unknown. On the road to Vallaki, the players set up camp, appointing Harp to take first watch. Strahd chose then appear before Harp, introducing himself and imparting some advice upon the Warforged- that they get Ireena to Vallaki safely. Bequeathing Harp a gift, "Van Richten's Guide to Witches", he left as mysteriously as he had came.
