Lazlo Ulrich

Lazlo Ulrich was the former burgomaster of Berez. He killed Marina, a previous incarnation of Ireena Kolyana, with the aid of a local priest named Brother Grigor in order to save her soul from damnation.

Enraged, Strahd slew the priest and the burgomaster, then used his power over the land to swell the river, flooding the village and forcing the residents to flee. Later the marsh crept in, preventing the villagers from returning. Berez has remained mostly abandoned since.
