Count Strahd von Zarovich

Count Strahd von Zarovich

Strahd is the main villain of this campaign. He is an extremely powerful vampire who feels almost no emotions.
In his youth, Strahd was a prince and a conqueror. After settling down in the recently conquered valley of Barovia, beginning to feel the weight of middle age, sometime before the War Strahd forged a pact with the Dark Powers of the Shadowfworlds in order to achieve immortality. The pact involved the murder of his brother Sergei von Zarovich so that Strahd could take Sergei's wife Tatyana, with whom he had fallen madly in love. The pact sealed, Strahd chased Tatyana through his gardens in an effort to force her to love him, eventually driving her to fling herself off a cliff to avoid him and causing her death. Strahd tried to end it all but remained alive, undead and a vampire. The entire valley was swept into the Shadowfell and turned into a prison from which he could never escape.
In the following years, Jander encountered Anna, a fragment of Tatyana's soul who had been trapped in an asylum in Waterdeep for almost a century. After discovering the true nature of Strahd, Jander attempted to destroy him, but ended up only severely injuring him.
In this story he will teleport the player through a rift and into a different universe. During that time, he will kill he currently elected king of the Empire (add link) and become head of the Empire of Oldenlore. He will then wage war against the other kingdoms.
Ultimately, he will fall by the hand of the player, thanks to the invaluable help of Jander.
