Mirzu Tarlev

Mirzu Tarlev was once a young nobleman, one of Prince Ladislav Mircea's favorites. When the Gray Plague struck Sanguinia in 605 BC, the prince invited him to Castle Guirgiu to wait out the plague. Given Mircea's utter disregard for quarantine, of course Tarlev eventually contracted the plague, was hurled over the castle walls, and died. He is now Mircea's most trusted Ash Man. Nothing of his original personality remains, but that does not prevent Mircea from attempting to have (inevitably one-sided) conversations with him.
