Appearance
Ismark is a hansom young man who has suffered the weight of unobtainable expectations. His smile does little to hide the concern and guilt. His once noble attire is torn and dirty with blood and grime. However, a glimmer of hope keeps his eyes aflame and his head held high.
Childhood
Ismark grew up in the Village of Barovia and has spent most of his life there. Even in times of peace the roads connecting the cities are dangerous so he never ventured far from the city limits. Ismark spent most of his youth running around the village and surrounding farmland with his sister Ireena.
Adult Life
Ismark has spent most of his adult life trying to prove his worth to the two most important men in his life. His father is the current Burgomaster and his great grandfather Ismark the Greater. His father has been in charge of Barovia for a good part of the century of peace. His father is well liked, strong, and charismatic. Now that Strahd has risen Ismark is trying follow in his fathers footsteps in a time of trouble.
