Burgomaster Kartov was the burgomaster of the Village of Barovia at the time of [{Jander Sunstar]]'s arrival in the Land of Mists in 475 BC.[1] Burgomaster Kartov was also the father of Anastasia and Ludmilla.[2] Old Ivan was his valet.[3]


Burgomaster Kartov bore a hatred for Petya, a Vistani whom was romancing Anastasia. When Andrei the Butcher falsely accused Petya of thievery, Burgomaster called for Petya's hanging. Just arrived in the Land of Mists, Jander sent some wolves to break up the lynch mob. Burgomaster Kartov revealed his cowardice and fled, abandoning his daughter to whatever fate the wolves would have given her.[4] The incident, and Anastasia's subsequent shaming of him for it, left the belligerent burgomaster less resolved, somewhat alleviating his abuse of the women of the Kartov Family.[5]

In 485 BC[6], Count Strahd von Zarovich, Jander, and some of Strahd's vampiress slaves descended upon the burgomaster's cottage, intent on punishing him for cheating the count out of tax money. The entire family, save for Ludmilla and Anastasia's son Alexi Petrovich, were massacred. The cottage was set ablaze. Along with the rest of the Kartov Family, Martyn Pelkar and Alexi impaled and properly disposed of Burgomaster Kartov's corpse to prevent him from coming back from the grave as a vampire.[7]
