Ex. Corporal Dragomir Katzinkaly, Barovian youth noted for his short but "eventful" service in the Vallaki Garda until the end of the Invidian war, has answered Barovia's call for good men and returned to arms in he military as a mere recruit. Some Barovians are ambivilant about his return- none could deny his skill or dedication, but the number of outlanders who remember him that were heartened by his return to the uniform is a little strange. And that he seems reticent to beat, stab, set on fire, or otherwise properly discipline outlanders unless directly ordered is of concern. No one can deny his skill with a blade though.
With the standing order that Guards not leave the Citadel at night, when not on patrol through the city or outskirts Dragomir can be found either in his bunk, intently pouring over foreign books about war and weapons; or in the training room working over the dummies with such intensity that he seems to be in a barely contained rage, hammering at the dummies with such ferocity he has to rotate daily or break them.
