	Much of Dr. van Richten's early history before he came a monster hunter remains the same. One key difference is that he did not wholesale murder the [[Vistani]] that [[kidnapped]] his son [[Erasmus van Richten]]. In fact, one of them, [[Ezmerelda ~~d'Avenir]]~~ appeared to him one day and expressed her remorse, eventually becoming van Richten's student in monster hunting. However, their relationship frayed after a couple of years, and at, Ezmerelda's suggestion, they left each other's company amicably.<ref name="Curse of Strahd p. 230-231">[[Curse of Strahd]] p. 230-231</ref>		Much of Dr. van Richten's early history before he came a monster hunter remains the same.
