This house seems disgusted with itself. A slouching roof hangs heavy over furrowed gables, and moss-covered walls sag and bulge under the weight of the vegetation. As you study the house's sullen countenance, you hear the edifice actually groan. Only then do you realize the extent to which the house hates what it has become.

Lady Fiona Wachter makes no secret of her family's long-standing loyalty to the von Zarovich line. She believes that Strahd von Zarovich is no tyrant but, at worst, a negligent landlord. She would happily serve Strahd as burgomaster of Vallaki, but she knows that Baron Vargas Vallakovich won't give up his birthright without a fight. Her husband passed away from illness a few years ago, her youngest daughter Stella has gone insane and is kept locked in her room. She has two older sons, Nico and Karl, who are drunks.

Her right hand man is Ernst Lanark, who seems to have goals of his own, but as long as Fiona pays the bills he takes care of her business.
