Strahd von Zarovich

Strahd von Zarovich is the main antagonist of Half Damage and "The Curse of Strahd" module by Wizards of the Coast.

In Half Damage he is the main character of the popular show "The Curse of Strahd" whose personality changes depending on whether he is on or off-air.

He also looks like Hugh Jackman. Specifically from Van Helsing. Don't question it too much. It is what it is.

On-Air
Strahd plays the main villain of the show. He is the tyrannical leader of Barovia who rules using fear and force. The people of the land do his bidding lest they be punished.

He is confident in his abilities and relishes the challenge that the heroes pose, inviting them to gain strength and skill so that it would be an interesting fight.

Strahd is infatuated with Ireena Kolyana, and means to make her his bride. However he has a tendency to flirt with anyone who catches his eye.

He has been seen to have the ability to transform into animals, appear in stone figures, use mind control, and hear and see the heroes' actions at certain times. Whether these abilities are his, or constructs of the show, is currently unknown.

Off-Air
Strahd is far more congenial and seems to be genuinely excited to speak to the heroes; happy that he has new company and that the show is going in an interesting direction.

He is remorseful that the show is pitting them against one another and does not seem to wish to kill the heroes, nor have the heroes kill him. However he seems resigned that one of these options is going to be the eventuality and is even accepting of the possibility of his death - he has lived too long.
