The Abbot

Character from Curse of Strahd by Tracy & Laura Hickman, Chris Perkins / Wizards of the Coast

A celestial being corrupted by centuries in Barovia — once a deva of pure compassion, now a mad angel building a flesh golem bride for Strahd in the deluded belief it will lift the curse.

Also known as: The Abbot, the holy man of Krezk, the angel of the abbey
