Lord (Prince) Sturm Von Zarovitch
Born 312- Died 382
Sturm Von Zarovitch was the second child of Barov Von Zarovitch and Ravenia Von Royen. He has two elder brothers, Strahd who is six years his senior, and Rahadin who is his father's adopted child, a dusk elf of unknown age. He also has a younger brother Sergi, who was born when Sturm was 12.
The Von Zarovitch's believed themselves to be lucky to have three biological sons, and raised them with the expectations that Strahd would be a military leader and conquer new territory, Sturm would be a politician and the king in their homeland, and Sergi would be raised to one day become the head of the Barovian church.
Things got... complicated. Barov and Ravenia were killed in a war. Strahd invited the family to stay with him, but only Sergi managed to make the trip, where he met the love of his life Tatyana and assumed his role in the church because of a series of sudden deaths, despite perhaps not having finished his training. Eventually this led to Sergi and Tatyana's wedding, as well as Strahd's transformation, which turned out to be a slaughter that Sturm narrowly avoided by being unavailable.
Sturm is rational, attentive, and careful. He was schooled in how to make things last, in all the governing that Strahd missed in his life. Strahd was born to create empire, but Sturm was born to keep one together and make it thrive. He's was happily married and the father of all living Von Zarovitchs.
