Tyberon Almeny's Beginnings

I, Tyberon Almeny, was born and raised near Vallaki. As a water genasi, I spent most of my time in Lake Zarovich next to the town. Vallaki's burgomaster, Varkas Vallakovich, hosts festivals often to hold back the evil of the land. As a descendant of water elementals, I was able to steer clear of most of Barovia’s problems by living in the lake itself.
 
One day I went to Vallaki to enjoy one of the festivals of the fall, the Promenade of Coffins. What happened on that day has caused trauma that even after many years I’m still trying to fully recover from. I made two new friends that day who have been at my side ever since; my patron, the efreeti genie who gave me the ability to survive horrible encounters, and my Raven familiar, Saela, who is the only happiness I’ve been able to keep since then.
 
I have wandered Barovia finding the odd job to either work as a mercenary or increase my knowledge at the Abbey of Saint Markovia in Krezk to learn about the vicious creatures of this world to kill them and protect the innocent.
