I didn't see this anywhere else, but I have been known to miss obvious things; it's my curse I guess.
How about a Ravenloft Trivia Game? I ask a question, and the first person to answer it correctly asks the next question.
We can start with an easy one:
This is the year, according to Barovian calendar, that Strahd caught and imprisoned Leo Dilisnya.
Forgotten Son of Lord Vasili

He never said there couldn't be more, but Tristessa and the Phantom Lover are ones he knew about at press time.
Name another rank 5 ghost from a Ravenloft product.

Hint: The Rank 5 I'm thinking of didn't start out at Rank 5.

What really amazes me is that Lord Godefroy is only Rank 4. Not only a darklord, but the darklord of one of Ravenloft's most iconic and popular domains, and a character dating to pre-Black Box days.

It's a question of the intensity of negative emotions when the person died, not how evil it is

I checked on a dozen possible NPCs, and all of those rank 4 ...
