Kiril Stoyanovich

Kiril was the leader of a pack of werewolves in the domain of Barovia, circa the Faerûnian 15 century DR.

Description
In his human form, Kiril had a broad build, a bald head and a square, black beard that came down to a point.

Home
Kiril and his pack made their lair in the caves near Lake Baratok.

Personality
He was a pragmatic but brutal leader, who did what he had to in order to ensure the safety of his pack as a whole. He accepted their fate as residents of the horrible realm they called their home, believing that escape was entirely impossible.

History
Sometime circa the 1480s DR, two members of Kiril's pack, Dron and Utna, came under the influence of the warlock Sangin, an agent of Strahd von Zarovich who sought his freedom from Barovia.

Unsuccessful in their efforts to flee, the pair of wolves drew the ire of Count Strahd, who had transformed Sangin into a vampire and dispatched him to punish Kiril's pack for their transgression. In a twisted compromise, Sangin forced Kiril to condemn one of his pack members to death, in order to save the rest. Kiril chose Dron, sparing Utna but leaving her furious and alone in the horrific world in which they all lived.
