Yagno Petrovna was born in Barovia in 674 BC. He had not less than one sister and two brothers. Although bright, he was born with neither the vitality nor the strength typical of his family, and was moreover clumsy and painfully thin. Throughout his childhood and youth, he was bullied and beaten by his brothers. The Petrovna family had belonged to the nobility of Barovia (Prime Material Plane) and perhaps remained part of the nobility of Barovia three centuries later. It had, however, isolated itself in the mountains and had succumbed, at least to a degree, to the evils of inbreeding. Yagno, among a family that probably had more than its fair share of madness, was himself deemed to be deranged. He carried on discourses with non-existent people and cowered before non-existent creatures. One night in 696 BC, he was locked out in the Barovian night by his older brother Yoshtoi. Terrified, he ultimately took shelter in a small cave where he eventually succumbed to exhaustion and sleep. In the morning, he found the word Zhakata scrawled upon it wall. He imagined that Zhakata was a god that had protected him from the creatures of the night and he entered gladly into the service of the deity. Yagno had found his calling. He build an altar in the cave and began sacrificing animals to Zkakata. Sadly, the word had been put upon the wall by Yoshtoi. When Yoshtoi was murdered by parties unknown, suspicion fell on Yagno, and he may well have sacrificed his brother on that same altar. There were other disappearances and deaths too, those of Wladomir, the family's oldest retainer, and the shepherd twins Elessi and Evanda, who supposedly committed suicide. In 702 BC, Yagno was caught attempting to sacrifice his sister's newborn to Zhakata and was put to flight. He entered the Mists on the northern frontier of Markovia where the domain of G'Henna came into being with him as its darklord.
