Danovich is the Expedition to Castle Ravenloft stand-in for Donavich. Unlike the latter, Danovich no longer remains good but has instead been corrupted by a fragment of the Liber Blaspheme. After fighting evil for many years, the now fallen priest was driven over the edge when his son Doru was murdered by bandits. In an attempt to turn to revive him, Donavich turned to using the Liber Blaspheme fragment, but this only made Doru rise again as a blaspheme filled with a foul necromantic disease. This infection starting the zombie outbreak in the Village of Barovia.[1]
If Strahd's goal is to animate Undead Legions, Strahd was the murderer of Doru. Strahd also planted a fragment of the Liber Blaspheme for Danovich to find, hoping the mad priest would use it to turn Doru into a blaspheme and thus start the plague.[2]
