Boyar Lovina Wachter
Lady Lovina Wachter was noblely born to Lord Victor Wachter and Oleka Dilisnya in Prime Material Barovia in 342 BC, the third of four siblings. She was the granddaughter of Pidlwik Dilisnya and Duchess Dorfniya Dilisnya and was the niece of Gertrude Dilisnya, Ivan Buchvold, Reinhold Dilisnya, Nadia Yakimov and Leo Dilisnya. She attended with her family the doomed wedding of Sergei von Zarovich in 351 BC where Leo orchestrated a massacre to wipe out the Von Zarovches. Her uncles Reinhold and Ivan, her aunt Gertrude, her mother Oleka and her three sibligns were among the many who died in Castle Ravenloft, their blood on Leo's hands. Lovina and her father Victor were among the very few who survived. He had fought for the lives of his family and for that of his lord Count Strahd von Zarovich who also survived ... after a fashion. Victor was rewarded for his loyalty by being made a boyar of the region in the vicinity of the Krezk Pass. He spent the remainder of his life searching for Leo Dilisnya and, without finding him, died in 372 BC, survived by Lovina. She became boyar and took up the search and located Leo in 398 BC, informing Count Strahd of the fact by letter. She was determined to see Leo suffer and ultimately supplied the tomb in which he was imprisoned. From which point, the Wachter family enjoyed, and prospered under, the protection of the Count of Barovia.
