Anna Krezkova

In Curse Of Strahd, Pack came to Krezk to deliver a delayed shipment from the Wizard of Wines, and stayed with Anna and Dmitri. Anna was bereaved, having recently lost her boy Ilya Krezkov to illness. At her age, she was unlikely to ever bear another child, and she was largely silent and dissociative during their stay. The Pack promised the Krezkovs to investigate The Abbot who resided in the Abbey of Saint Markovia.

They found that The Abbot was a mad Deva; though Shakti of the Wildhunt told Dmitri that it was not worth seeing The Abbot as he was mad, Ghalwin believed in the Angel's abilities. He told the Burgomaster that The Abbot had promised him miracles, and if they were true, he would use a favor to raise Ilya from the dead. 

After months, Ghalwin did not return, but this hope sparked Dmitri and Anna to action. They dug up Ilya's decomposed body and brought it to the Abbey. Though The Abbot initially denied trying to raise the boy, as he needed an intact body, Dmitri's pleas moved him, and he promised to raise him. Working through the night, The Abbot succeeded in his task, and Ilya stumbled down the mountain switchback to Krezk the next morning. 

The toll that the raising had taken on Ilya did not become apparent for a few days after, as the boy was initially exhausted and refused to eat, but he eventually developed a ravenous appetite. Only Anna knew the truth about how much Ilya was eating: eventually, she began tricking the village shepherd Oleg Barbu and stealing his Sheep. As baroness, she knew that the village would need these resources to survive the coming winter, but as a mother could not let Ilya remain in hunger and pain.

Eventually, the Heralds of Dawn visited the village, and found that the entire flock of the sheep at the Barbu Farmhouse had gone missing, as Ilya had snuck out and eaten two dozen of them at once. Panicked at the investigation and at her son's actions, Anna blamed the missing sheep on Oleg and the adventurers. She stirred a crowd to go after the shepherd, but was unsuccessful as Ajuni Elajoral calmed them. Ilya was ravenous, however, and had turned to eating people. He began attacking villagers and tore off the leg of Eugenija Fidatovna, who attracted the attention of the mob with a cry.

He was revealed to be a monster, and attacked the party, tearing off Ajuni's arm in desperate hunger. With might and magic, the adventurers protected the crowd and killed the boy. In anguish, Anna hugged the charred skeleton of her child, and was intimidated by Mormeros Fayan into confessing the truth about her crimes. The mob, enraged at both Anna's lies as well as over the village's now-certain fate, turned against their baroness and beat her to death with torches and pitchforks.
