Otto Belview

In Curse Of Strahd, Otto met the Pack, who convinced him that the Abbot had invited them as guests. When he found the Pack out exploring the Abbey, he was flustered, but ultimately let them wander the Abbey after his fellow guard Zygfrek Belview let them in.

Months after this, Otto remained at his post when he was approached by Heralds of Dawn. He was similarly skittish, but Ghalwin of the Grove knew how he operated, and they sent him to meet with The Abbot.

The gift of Lydia Petrovna's wedding dress, brought to him by the adventurers, was the final piece The Abbot believed Vasilka von Holtz needed to marry Strahd von Zarovich. He carefully altered the gown to fit her frame, with every tear mended and every yellowed thread replaced. Once her training was complete, the two dictated letters of invitation, and The Abbot restored the old warped pine carriage that had sat in the abbey courtyard for decades. Rather than harnessing Horses to it, he instead was pulled by dozens of Mongrelfolk, who also bore supplies to feed them for a long journey.

This caravan carried the letters to the homes of the uneasy residents of Krezk, and emptied the Abbey, then traveled the Old Svalich Road for weeks. They stopped in Vallaki to press invitations into the hands of the townsfolk, and The Abbot healed the mind of Stella Wachter at Ghalwin's request. They continued on to Castle Ravenloft, where Strahd welcomed them, and agreed to the marriage. However, the Count turned at the last moment and attacked, resulting in the bloody carnage of the Vasilkan Wedding.

Otto, like the rest of the mongrelfolk in attendance, was ripped apart by Vampire Spawn at Strahd's command. His body was staked on a long, conjured metal spike leading to the castle from the Black Carriage Crossroads, as yet another symbol Strahd's wrath.
