Izek Blinsky
Izek Blinsky is a renowned inventor and toymaker in the city of Vallaki and the owner of Blinsky Toys, as well as Piccolo the monkey. He is also the cousin of Ireena and Ismark Kolyana. While technically a lesser noble, Izek renounced politics due to disagreements with the Baron's policies, opting instead to open his toy shop. He claims he makes toys from both dreams and nightmares, so children can overcome their fears of Barovia through play.
Inventions
Izek is a very skilled craftsman, specializing in woodcarving, metalworking, and sculpting. He has created posable figures, contraptions that generate heat and steam, and wooden characters that can transform into beasts.Prophetic Toys
Izek revealed to the party that the inspiration for all his toys come from his vision-like dreams, making his reasoning for making them very literal. This includes places he's never been, and people and creatures he's never seen. Notable examples include figurines of the party, a doll house resembling Death House, a silver dragon, and a replica of a ship with a special connection to Trid.Pidlwick II
A few weeks prior to the party's arrival in Vallaki, Izek bought Pidlwick II off a Vistani trader for a very modest sum. He was fascinated by the mechanical, clockwork man, but could not get him to work. When the party activated Pidlwick, it became the location for Pidlwick's Funland.Disappearance
Blinsky fell into a depression due to losing his cousin Ireena after she was taken by Strahd. After a strange interaction with the party after their return to Vallaki, he vanished and his toy shop was suddenly and mysteriously burned to the ground, an event that allegedly already happened one day before they arrived. All that remained was a single, small doll that resembled the jolly toymaker...Mental characteristics
