"Death"

This section contains canon info from officially published sources |
Death was the name Strahd gave to the dark entity that he seemingly made a pact with for his Heart's Desire. According to Strahd's description, it was a taunting and tempting entity, almost a force, that mimicked the voices of his friends and family members.[1] To seal the pact, Strahd murdered Alek Gwilym and Sergei von Zarovich and drink their blood to transform fully into an immortal vampire.[2]
After Tatyana Federovna apparent suicide and disappearance into the Mists, Death taunted Strahd[3], but later it seemed to disappear, as its voices to Strahd were replaced with only silence.[4]
Death's true nature is only hinted at by Strahd's memoirs, and the veracity of these descriptions are unknown. As it is, Death remains largely a mystery like the Dark Powers.
It should be noted that "Death" is not the same entity as Lowellyn Dachine, the darklord of Necropolis bearing the same name.
