Strahd von Zarovich maintained complete control over his domain of Barovia, and all under him bore his mark, whether directly or indirectly. Those loyal to Strahd were diverse in both species and intellect, from his most dedicated mortal followers, to his vampire spawn, to the wolves who stalked his lands. Though many within his cult maintained their own schemes, vying for position and prestige, all ultimately bent to Strahd's will.
