Doru Stefanovich

Dead

The son of Stefan Donavich, Doru was an idealistic follower of the Morninglord, tending to the Church of Barovia. His mother passed in childbirth, and he was raised solely by his priest father, lone tenets of the dilapidated and rarely-visited church. Despite his meekness, as a young man, he was swept up in a local effort to attack Castle Ravenloft, and was turned into a Vampire Spawn by Strahd von Zarovich. He returned to the village to terrorize it at Strahd's behest, but was lured into the Church's undercroft by his father, who locked him inside.

His screams from under the floorboards could be heard by everyone around the church, as he grew increasingly hungry for blood. The sounds and moral dilemma drove his father mad, but he refused to open the trapdoor.
