Valko Văduva

History
A quiet, brooding man, Valko was an immigrant to Alvanus in the spring of 1674. He had many unrelated skills and wouldn't speak much of his past or family background. He spoke with a thick accent which, along with his name, led some to believe he had come from Gitova, or perhaps the Kingdom of Vulgarus, and his overall lack of amity contributed to his immediate relegation to the role of unwelcome outsider. Some even believed him to be a criminal on the run, due to his unwillingness to speak of his past employment. Nonetheless, he persevered and eventually integrated into a secluded village, where he worked as a machinist, fixing tools for the somewhat large forestry operation nearby.

One fateful night in his first winter in Alvanus, Valko was outside his home to inspect strange noises he had heard while eating his dinner, when he was attacked by a vampyr and afflicted with the curse. Knowing that he would not live long if he stayed among people who had barely begun to trust him, he gathered his things and quickly fled the village, never to return. During the next few years, he drifted throughout the continent, moving about at night, attacking and feeding upon anyone he could catch alone in order to sustain himself, until he reached Castow.
