Urwin Martikov
Urwin Martikov – The Watchful Innkeeper “A warm smile for strangers, a keen eye for secrets.” The jovial proprietor of the Blue Water Inn in Vallaki, Urwin hides more than good wine behind the bar. A proud member of the secretive Keepers of the Feather and a wereraven, he uses his inn as a hub of quiet resistance against Strahd. Always observing, always planning—Urwin plays the long game, one bottle and whisper at a time.
Arik Lorensk
Arik Lorensk – The Emotionless Bartender “He serves without a word, his gaze empty, as if he’s forgotten what it means to be alive.” The lifeless-eyed bartender of the Blood of the Vine Tavern in Barovia, Arik performs his duties with robotic precision, never speaking unless prompted. His monotonous voice and vacant stare make him an unsettling presence, leaving patrons wondering if there is anything left of the man behind those hollow eyes.
