The pair of wolf hunters eventually found his body being carried by the Pack in Curse Of Strahd. He traveled with them back to the town, where they forged a bond over future wolf-hunting prospects, but did not encounter the party directly again until the Riots Of The Blazing Sun, where his life was completely flipped.
A Wolf-hunter from Vallaki, Yevgeni was orphaned at a young age. Raised in Saint Andral's Church, he developed a quiet and steady disposition through adulthood, and eventually partnered with Franz Krykski and Szoldar Szoldarovich in the hunting trade. He often could not be found at home, as he either stayed in the wilds or drinking quietly at the Blue Water Inn.
When Franz disappeared, he and Szoldar went out looking for him and Myrtle Lansten in the Svalich Woods.
