An eccentric young nobleman and scholar, Isander had a peaceful and opulent life until the night he was attacked by a wandering vampire. His cousin, Damius, was attacked first, and with no knowledge of what was going on or what he was facing, Isander stepped in to defend him. This turned the vampire's wrath on
him instead, and Isander was forced to watch his cousin bleed out on the ground while the vampire drained the life from him. He woke just after sunrise to his brother's hounds digging him out of a shallow grave; the vampire had tried to transform him into one of its thralls, but while the bite had changed him, his heart was still beating.
Unbeknownst to Isander, in his dying moments, he had begged for someone to save him.
And someone had answered.
The extraplanar creature that intervened on his behalf was too late to save him
entirely, but it managed to pause his transformation into a vampire spawn by claiming his soul. Now bound to a powerful Inevitable called a
Marut, Isander is called to serve the Plane of Order, the Clockwork Nirvana known as Mechanus. His precise and orderly nature has allowed him to resist the temptation for blood, but without it, his half-mortal body grows gaunt and weak.
After striking out in a desperate search for a cure, he has become trapped in the cursed demiplane of Barovia with the rest of his adventuring friends. Here, Isander is surrounded by the Vampires he fears most, and nothing haunts him more than the prospect of once again failing to protect the people he cares about. The evil of this land closes in around him, and an ominous reading from an old fortuneteller haunts his waking hours: there is a darkness growing within him, one that will someday overpower him in spite of his warlock pact. A cure exists in Barovia, one that the old woman warned would come at a tremendous cost... and Isander secretly fears that he might not be willing to pay it.
Following the traumatic deaths of his two oldest friends in the party, Isander has become more melancholy and confrontational. He clings to only member of the group that he still feels close to, and he becomes
unusually vicious when that man is in danger. Perhaps a little darkness isn't such a problem after all...
