Barovia

A middle-aged human male cleric with a gaunt face and weary eyes. He has short, unkempt balding black hair and wears tattered vestments that once were a symbol of his faith. His hands are often stained with dirt, because he hasn't kept up with his hygiene after constantly praying and taking care of his son.

Father Donovich is kind-hearted and compassionate, yet he is also deeply troubled and melancholic. He often speaks in hushed tones and carries a heavy burden of grief and guilt over his son's fate.

Father Donovich has dedicated his life to serving the Morninglord, but his faith has been tested by the horrors of Barovia. A little more than a year ago, twenty-year-old Doru and several other villagers stroned Castle Ravenloft in revolt, having benn lured there by a wizard in black robes who came to Barovia from a faraway land. By all accounts, the wizard died by Strahd’s hand, and so too did Doru, who returned to his father as a Vampire spawn . Donavich was able to trap his son in a church’s undercroft, where he remains to this day. Father Donovich has been feeding his son his own blood since he was imprisoned, but he still cries out to his father at all hours for more. Donavich prays day and night, hoping the gods will tell him how to save Doru without destroying him.
