Ezmerelda D'Avenir

Ezmerelda D'Avenir is a professional vampire hunter and a protegee of Rudolph van Richten.

Ezmerelda is not native to Barovia, and gained entry into the realm by bribing a group of Vistani to guide her through the mists. She, herself, is of Vistani heritage but she left her tribe in protest over their practice of slave trafficking.

Van Richten took her under his tutelage shortly after she arrived in Barovia, though they have since had something of a falling out. The details of this conflict are currently unclear.

She has an intricately crafted, mechanical prosthetic leg of her own creation. She lost the leg in an encounter with werewolves not long after she began working with Van Richten.

Ezmerelda has dedicated herself to Strahd's destruction, and plans to entrap him in some kind of magic circle.

Current Events
The party met Ezmeralda at the Abbey of St Markovia while they were both staying there. Their interests in destroying Strahd seemed to be aligned so they agreed to work together.
