Father Lucien Petrovich

[IDEA — NONCANONICAL] Source: 2026-09-19 ideation (Planned Encounters for the Next Session (B)).

Source characterization: RAW. Spelling confirmed 2026-09-24: Lucien (earlier entries spelled it “Lucian”; all references updated). The Session 10 Prep doc’s gates scene shows him wearing the Morninglord’s crest.

Role: Priest of St. Andral’s Church, Vallaki

Key characterization principles:

  • Works outside the gates among the Barovian refugees with his altar boy Yeska, trying to heal the sick with holy power.
  • Doesn’t know what the “withering sickness” is, but has noticed many Barovians wasting away and dying in droves. He is the NPC who talks about the sickness.
  • Would likely know Father Donavich.

  • Custodian of St. Andral’s bones, which keep Vallaki’s ground consecrated (and, per ideation, may be what protects its wells — Strahd’s Offer to the Party, the Bones of Saint Andral & the Brides).

  • [IDEA — NONCANONICAL] 2026-09-27 / 10-08 ideation (Section 16): Faction note: Yeska shares Lucien’s motives (not a separate faction). The church’s gravedigger Milivoj is the one who steals St. Andral’s bones and hands them to the coffin maker Henrik van der Voort (per RAW). Who Milivoj is working for — and how this fits Anastrasya’s bones heist (15.5) — is unreconciled (Section 14).
