Barovia

A male vampire spawn with sharp features and long, flowing blonde hair that is tied into a ponytail, cascading down his back. His piercing brown eyes seem to glow in the darkness, and he wears an puffy elegant blue top adorned with light blue embroidery. He also wears dark blue pants, leather boots, and gold jewelry.

Escher is charming, manipulative, and fiercely ambitious. He enjoys playing mind games with those around him and is not afraid to betray others to achieve his goals. Despite his dark affiliations, he possesses a certain charisma that draws people to him. He enjoys flirting with people, and often tries to fluster others.

A traveling minstrel with exceptional social graces and adept in manipulation, Escher impressed Strahd with his wit, intellect, and remarkable musical talents. Despite this, however, Escher has little ambition and is content to enjoy the quiet, hedonistic lifestyle that Strahd provides him with. Recently, Escher has begun to feel neglected and has retreated from his position in the castle until Strahd’s mood improves. He dreads the prospect of losing Strahd’s interest, especially if Strahd’s boredom leads to his imprisonment in the crypts below Castle Ravenloft. Escher suspects Strahd's disinterest is due to his growing obsession with Ireena Kolyana. Escher is determined to prevent their marriage and has formed a reluctant alliance with Sasha Ivliskova to keep Ireena away from the castle. He may assist the player characters as long as it can't be traced back to him.
