Burgomaster Lazlo Ulrich

Burgomaster Lazlo Ulrich was the burgomaster of Berez as of 400 BC. According to Strahd's description, he was a greedy and selfish miser that let his manor fall into shabby conditions in order to save his money. in 400 BC, Burgomaster Lazlo sold a number of old spellbooks to Strahd (the latter going by the alias Lord Vasili van Holtz).

Burgomaster Lazlo had a single very elderly servant named "Willy", or at least that is what the old servant was called by Lazlo's adopted daughter Marina. At least according to Strahd, Lazlo seemed to treat both with less than kindness. Lazo overworked the former and treated the latter quite callously. "Papa Lazlo", as Marina referred to him, had one concrete transgression against Marina. Prior to his demise (see below, Burgomaster Lazlo had planned to get Brother Grigor to undue Marina's adoption and instead give a license of marriage- to Lazlo himself.

During Strahd's visit, he met a young woman named Marina, Lazlo's adopted daughter. Strahd discovered that Marina was somehow a reincarnation of Tatyana. Strahd began to woo here and transform her into a vampire, but his efforts were discovered by Brother Grigor. Made aware of this, Burgomaser Lazlo staked Marina before she could transform. Then he confronted Strahd and attempted to do the same to him. However, Strahd murdered Lazlo instead.
