The Wolves of Brother's Cave

The Wolves of Brother's Cave was the name of the werewolves that plagued Barovia, and in particular Krezk, for so long.
The group's den is closer to Krezk than to any other major settlement. They are known to poach unwary travellers on the Old Svalich Road (and sometimes wary ones, too), and have made at least two attacks within Krezk's walls in recent memory, which is apparently unusual. More recently, they were harrying the Village of Barovia in an attempt to boost their numbers after several casualties, some of which were at the party's hands.
The fate of the pack is currently unknown. With some wolves siding with the party and others joining Strahd after the Battle of the First Two, and knowing that some noncombatants — primarily children — were left behind in the assault on the castle, whether the pack will remain, change, or become something entirely new remains to be seen.

Known Members

When the party met the wolves in the woods, there appeared to be at least a couple dozen of them. Most of the wolves' identities and backgrounds are unknown.

Valentina Belasco

Former blacksmith in Krezk. Presumably dead or now an enemy.

Ksenia Janek

Formerly spotted in Krezk, seen again amongst the werewolves. Presumably dead or now an enemy.

Ippolit

One of a handful of wolves who stayed loyal to Zuleika and Izek after the Battle of the First Two. Originally from Krezk.

Irakliy

One of a handful of wolves who stayed loyal to Zuleika and Izek after the Battle of the First Two. Former dream pie addict from Barovia.

Narla

One of a handful of wolves to stay loyal to Zuleika and Izek after the Battle of the First Two. Originally from Waterdeep. Stayed with the non-combatants in the village of Barovia to help protect them.

Izek Strazni

Bodaway's half-brother, formerly the right-hand man of Baron Vargas Vallakovich. Apparently after fleeing the riots in the wake of The Festival of the Blazing Sun, he found himself with a nasty dream pie addiction courtesy of Granny, and spent some time in Barovia. When the pies stopped coming, things in the pie den got dire, and for Izek, becoming a werewolf has given him a new lease on life.

Svyatoslav

One of a handful of wolves who stayed loyal to Zuleika and Izek after the Battle of the First Two. A former dream pie addict from Barovia.

Emil Toranescu

Formerly the leader of the pack, ousted with Strahd's help by Kiril. Husband to Zuleika, and freed from Castle Ravenloft by Ismark. Died on the Ethereal Plane, and left the party to watch over his newly orphaned children.

Zuleika

The current leader of the pack, after Kiril's death at the party's hands. Wife to Emil, and intent on getting him back from Strahd. Brokered an alliance with the party against Strahd, in exchange for her pack's safety and their freedom to leave once Strahd is defeated. This did not work out for her.

Unknown Female Dragonborn

Spotted among the werewolves. Presumably not from Barovia. Presumably dead or now an enemy.

Unknown Female Dwarf

Spotted among the werewolves. Presumably not from Barovia, unless Dworic or Funda had some fun while they were still alive. Presumably dead or now an enemy.
