Where we’ve seen them
-
Session 11 - intervened on Willemina’s (and the party’s) behalf to The Baron
-
Session 14 - Dinner and a Show (Neyavr 4, Evening) - Provided sanctuary to Ireena Kolyana at St. Andral’s Church while the party attended dinner at Wachterhaus. After Izek Strazni ransacked the Blue Water Inn searching for her, the party rushed to the church to confirm Ireena’s safety. Father Lucian assured them that the church’s hallowed grounds had protected her from any harm. He remained present when the party informed Ireena about the genealogical connection to “Ireena Strazni” and her written endorsement of Izek’s assassination.
-
Session 16 - The Lady, the Witch, and the Ringmaster (Neyavr 6, Morning) - Attended the public abdication ceremony in the Town Square, observing from the party’s side as his brother-in-law Baron Vallakovich formally stepped down from power. Commented on the “mercy of the mists” and shared what little he knew about the goddess Ezra. Expressed mild concern for his younger sister, Baroness Lydia Petrovna, though he noted she was unlikely to notice much about the shift in her family’s status. The peaceful transition transferred leadership of Vallaki to Lady Wachter, ending nearly 500 years of Vallakovich rule.
