The Phantom Knight
Sir Vladimir was a powerful ghost knight who repeatedly attacked the Burgomaster Mansion in the weeks before the party's arrival in Barovia. He wielded a long flaming lance and possessed the ability to fly and create bursts of blue flame.
History
Every Saturday night, Sir Vladimir would arrive at the Burgomaster Mansion, and ask for the lady of the house. Ismark assumed this to mean Ireena, yet he later claimed to wish to take someone named Tatyana.
When the party attempted to sneak outside the mansion to confront Vladimir, they accidentally allowed him to invoke
The Rule of Entry. He was able to enter the mansion and attack Ismark, who was injured stopping the knight from reaching Ireena.
After a difficult battle, Vladimir surrendered, thanking the party for the first worthy battle he's had in generations. He gave them a warning about crossing his master, Strahd, and promised he would duel the party once more.
Aftermath and Armor
After arriving at the Eastern Vistani Camp at the Tser Pool, the party was confronted by
Rahadin. He provided the provided the party with a gift from Strahd, Vladimir's armor. The armor appeared heavily damaged before Rahadin welded it with magic. It remains unclear why Vladimir was seemingly destroyed.
