Ismark Kolyanovich

Ismark Kolyanovich, son of the Burgomaster of the village of Barovia, met the party in Blood of the Vine Tavern. He invites the characters to join him, offers to pay for their wine, and asks for their aid in protecting his adopted sister, Ireena Kolyana. He offers any valuables in his home and information by means of payment. After agreeing to help, takes them to the burgomaster's residence. He wants the characters to help him escort Ireena to Vallaki, a settlement in the heart of the valley, beyond the view of Castle Raven loft and (he hopes) beyond the reach of Strahd. Ismark knows that moving Ireena is a gamble, since she's vulnerable to Strahd when she is outside their home, but he has heard assertions that Vallaki is well defended.

Personal history

Ismark has been searching for someone to assist him taking Ireena somewhere out of the reach of Strahd, so far unsuccessfully. Three days prior to the parties arrival Ismark's father died. No-one from the village would assist in the burial and so the body lies in the front room of the Burgomasters Mansion.
