=== Personality ===
==Biography==
=== Background ===
The origins of Count Strahd von Zarovich are unknown to most, and even the best-kept annals of the history of Erideon reveal precious little of his upbringing and youth. It is known that he was the son of Count Radovid von Zarovich of Barovia, an influential Duranian noble of Sorvian heritage, and his wife, Lady Ravenovia. He had a younger brother, Sergei. After his father was assassinated on the orders of the Dragon Tyrants, Strahd became Lord of Barovia. 
=== Rulership ===
From the first day of his rulership, Strahd firmly prepared his people for war. After years of methodical planning, Strahd led a series of offensives that allowed him to capture broad swathes of Duranian territory. Strahd easily deposed the Draconic puppet on the Duranian throne. The Count of Barovia refused to claim the title of "King," thinking it beneath him.
About 200 years before the final victory against the Dragons, Strahd, as well as the County of Barovia, mysteriously vanished from existence. Historians and arcanists remain uncertain about the fate of Strahd and his domain. Some postulate that the Dragons threw his domain into oblivion forever as part of a powerful ritual. Others believe that Strahd was afflicted by a dark and unknowable curse. Still others believe that Strahd himself was responsible for Barovia's disappearance, and is now in hiding.
