Rich dark hair sits atop his head, while light pale flesh covers the rest of him. His dark brown eyes show his age, along with the many wrinkles he has accumulated around his tired eyes. While not remarkable in any way, the stout man has prided him self as being a upstanding figure of his village. Never getting into trouble and always being as humble as possible. Though he can often be found at the inn for quite a few hours on any given night drinking his past away, having lost his side of the family in a rather tragic fire of unknown origins.

No one is quite sure when the Savu's arrived, only that one day a man seemed to arrive with coin to purchase the rights to a small farm. Though such was so long ago no one can say for sure. But the Savu's seemed to keep to them selves. Nothing seeming to stand out, other then they gave off a odd feeling and rarely engaged with the rest of the village. Over time the family became increasingly more public as the members of the family got older. The family began to see its members married off, and moving on else where. For some time the family would of been like any other, seeming entirely normal. Over time, those who had left seemed to return with child. Though oddly alone, without their husband or wife. As the family begins to gather once more, a horrible mysterious fire broke out one night. Killing every family member, except one. A lone pregnant women who was found badly burned the next day.

A women of bronze skin and dark hair, with eyes of a bottomless blackness.

NPC Name:Mihai Savu
Relation to PC:Oldest Sibling (Brother)
Location:Village of Barovia
Description:A embodiment of his mother, this strapping young man has grown to be a ideal specimen of a halfling young man. While his looks seem taken from his mother he does not seem to share his mothers or fathers simple humble nature. The young man seems caught in perpetual anger. Often found releasing his ever present rage in the fields or around the farm. A habit that has given him a form that any would desire to possess. Rarely seen away from the farm the young man seems of few words, and less sociable then a feral wolf. Despite the ever present look of rage in his eyes he seems fiercely protective of his family and their farm. Some rumor of him taking down a worg with just his hands, leaving the creature behind with its lower jaw broken and its head twisted to a unnatural angle.
NPC Name:Lucian Savu
Relation to PC:Middle Sibling (Brother)
Location:Village of Barovia
Description:Lucian seems to favor his father in both appearance and personality. The two never seem far apart, always easy going and relatively happy. Lucian seems far more lanky and rather clumsy in comparison to his strapping brother and well built father. Lucian seems far more interested in the halfling women of his village, very often making a fool of him self in his pursuit of love. His relatively good looks seem to make him easy enough on the eyes, but his youthful awkwardness has made him fit in well with the village. Most seeming to get along and enjoy the young man as well as can be expected.
NPC Name:Draguta Hagi [Deceased]
Relation to PC:Grandmother of Sorts (live in help)
Location:Village of Barovia
Description:A hagered elderly destitute barovian women. While this halfling women may of once been pretty, it is hard to tell. The years have been rather unkind to her, stealing her sight almost completely and leaving her partially crippled. This women is lucky to of lived as long as she had, or perhaps owes such to those who were kind enough to take her in and keep her well fed and safe from the night. With little to offer, she made her way caring for the children of the house. While her body may of failed her, her mind was stronger then ever, spinning tales of such wonder and interest that the children never seem bored for very long. The age in her voice seemed almost hypnotic when she spun tales, drawing in even the children parents at times as they all sat close to the homes hearth. The source of her tales seeming to stem from a life lived in wonder. Confessing she was once a great adventurer. The source of her many physical ailments. The elderly women seemed to share all her knowledge with the children. Schooling them in a sense, a prospect both parents seemed most fond of. Even in the early ages of each child, each showed a aptitude for knowledge. Learning speak clearly and coherently while other children struggled to grasp at words. Learning the usefulness of the local fauna, as well as maps and how to tell direction. Even how to properly skin a kill and tend the hide so it could be sold for coin.
Points of Interest:
* Despite the families apparent humble kindness, all three siblings would seem very estranged and cold with one another. Even while growing up together.
* The Savu fire occurred exactly two decades before the Darlings fire. Both only having a sole survivor.
* Shortly after the birth of their third child, the Darlings took on a boarder. A odd elderly women dressed in black rags who had no where else to go. Seeming to pay her way with watching the children while their mother and father worked the land. The elderly women seeming to die in a mysterious fall one night many years later, only for it to be ruled a accident, That given her age she missed a step and fell down the stairs which killed her.
* The only daughter and youngest child of the family vanished one eve. Leaving only a short note behind that she was going to travel abroad.
