Laszlo Vaduva

Now a wight, Laszlo Varduva was in life a Barovian mercenary and trapper. After being killed by his lycanthrope wife Alina, he was later raised as one of the undead by Glovia Falinescu. Laszlo retrieved Tatyana's power box for Glovia, but went on a rampage in Orașnou when he suspected her of betraying him.

History

Laszlo was a rugged trapper and furrier living in the environs of Orașnou in Barovia. After a brief but intense courtship, He married Alina Varduva, even taking on her surname.Alina was secretly cursed with lycanthropy, something she divulged to Laszlo, though he did not care. Although Alina felt questionable about it, Laszlo and Alina found a community in Orasnou, providing much-needed furs to the local shops.

What Alina did not tell Laszlo was that it was that her entire bloodline was cursed to become werewolves, meaning that their son would become one too. Shortly prior to their child's birth, Alina finally divulged this truth to Laszlo. In reaction to this revelation, Laszlo became filled with violent wrath and attacked her, trying to tear the unborn child from her womb. The stress of the situation triggered a lycanthropic transformation in Alina, and she retaliated in self defense, ultimately killing Laszlo. Injured and panicked, she left the child with some villagers in Orașnou before fleeing into the wilderness with the intent to leave the village forever. Concern for her whereabouts and the discovery of Laszlo's corpse ultimately led some adventurers to find her in the forests, leaving her fate unknown.

Whatever destiny came to Alina, Laszlo's fate was not to end here. His corpse was found by Glovia Falinescu and reanimated into a wight. Glovia proposed a deal to the newly undead Laszlo: if he would find Tatyana's powder box for her, she would bring Laszlo and Alina back together for eternity as the living dead. Laszlo accepted and began his plans for finding this object.

To facilitate his search, Laszlo used his wolfskin cap, a variant hat of disguise, to assume a new identity as a tradesman named Arik Lavus. At the same time, rumors began to spread about a mysterious artifact popping up somewhere in town.
