Szoldar Szoldarovich

Szoldar Szoldarovich is a Vallakian hunter who frequents the Blue Water Inn. Partners with Yevgeni Krushkin, the pair kill wolves and sell the meat for a living. Their work is dangerous and bloody. Both men are grim and have haunted looks in their eyes.

A dour fellow, but seldom one to pass up an opportunity to earn coin. If the characters are looking for guides or information about the land of Barovia, Szoldar and Yevgeni can be of service. They aren’t afraid to venture beyond Vallaki’s walls during the day, and they know the woods and valley well. They’re willing to serve as guides for 5 gp per day, or to provide directions to important landmarks in exchange for free drinks. They think it’s foolish to travel “this cursed realm” at night and won’t do so unless their payment is exorbitant, 100 gp or more.

Description
A balding older man with a long tan beard which weaves in between his heavy leathers. A wolf-skin fur cloak is draped over his shoulders and looks to be plenty warm for cold Barovian nights. His hands are cut and scarred; he has distinct cuts and bruises from extensive use of a bow. A large bowie knife and longbow are draped on his waist and around his back. His bow looks like it has many notches cut into it in an organized manner.

On the rare occasion he speaks, Szoldar speaks brusquely. His mannerism is subdued with little elation apart from the passing oddity or chance for some coin.
