Elizabeth Durst

Along with her husband Gustav Durst, Elizabeth Durst led a cult devoted to Strahd in Death House (Location) prior to their eradication. Now Elizabeth lives on as a ghast.

History

Elizabeth was the wife of Elizbeth Durst. Together they had two children, Rose Durst and Thorn Durst. Gustav had a third, illegitimate child, Walter Durst, the product of an affair with a nursemaid. The child was stillborn, and the cult murdered the nursemaid soon after. Rose and Durst at some point also met their demise after Gustav and Elizebeth locked inside the attic and summarily forgotten to starve to death, though it is unclear if Rose and Thorn's deaths happened before or after their were slain and rose again as undead.

Gustav and Elizabeth led a cult that saw Strahd as a sort of dark messianic figure. Strahd cared little for the cult's devotion and rejected them. However, they nonetheless kidnapped and sacrificed people in his name. After they murdered a band of adventurers Strahd had lured to be his playthings, Strahd descended upon them and slew them all inside Death House, leaving the place a wretched den of evil and a haunted house. Although most of the cultists that rose again form the dead came back as spirits, Gustav and his wife arose again as ghasts. Nothing is detailed about their current relations, but they seem to remain together considering they can be encountered together in their living quarters in area 34
