In the eerie fog-shrouded landscape of Barovia, five men - a dashing young noble with his golden hair tousled and rapier at the ready, an armoured lionman, a fierce wolfman, a wise birdman, and devilish musician - stand valiantly between their dark-haired female companion and the magnificent yet terrifying human vampire with long hair, Strahd Von Zarovich, dressed in a regal furred black cloak, and sat atop a flaming black steed. His face is pale and cruel, the image of his inspiration, Dracula.
