The former Burgomaster of Berez, whose ghost has haunted the ruins of the mansion there for around 100 years. He was killed by Strahd von Zarovich in revenge for the death of Marina, whom he killed (along with Brother Grigor) in an attempt to save her from damnation after she was bitten by the vampire.

His ghost appears in the form of a giant, mutilated man with his entrails hanging out and a light in his eyes. He was angered when we tried to search the ruins of his house for items and told us that he was unable to leave.

He was aware that Marina looked like Tatyana but didn't seem to be aware of the reincarnation of her soul. He was upset when Gale told him about Ireena's existence, and said that he would like to apologize to her for not being able to save her.

He knew nothing about the Mage of the Mountains or the path in the woods, but he had heard the phrase "the ancient, the land," which he said was "the reason for everything we see around us," although he did not know the nature of Strahd's connection to the land.

One of the headstones in the cemetery of Berez bears his name.
