Drakov

Drakov is an employee of the Dark Oak Tavern and the younger brother of Natasha Vizini.

Appearance
Drakov is a human man with black hair. He can also transform into a wolf or a human-wolf hybrid. His voice becomes significantly more gravelly in his human-wolf hybrid form.

Personality
Drakov has apparently been considered troubled in the past. However, he seems to be a caring person, especially toward his family. He is also at least somewhat grounded, objecting to feeding alcohol to an owl, even if she is a fey and not a real owl and it would be really fun and cool.

Background
Despite being described by Natasha as "troubled" and having issues with Bertram Rhastur, Drakov seemed to have a stable situation working at his sister and brother-in-law's tavern. Shortly before the Champions Valoris arrived in Vila's Watch, he was attacked by Mayor Irwin, who transformed him into a werewolf and brought him to Bertram's house in order to frame him for Bertram's murder. Although he had difficulty controlling his new form, Drakov's family sheltered him and he quickly learned to control his transformations and actions during them.

Werewolves Arc
Although the party stayed at the Dark Oak Tavern during their time in Vila's Watch, they did not learn of Drakov's existence until he fled the tavern, some ways into the investigation. They chased after him and confronted him, ending with Drakov being knocked unconscious. Drakov was accused of Bertram's murder and imprisoned in one of the cages comprising the village's makeshift jail. He insisted that he did murder Bertram, but Natasha's insistence on her brother's innocence persuaded the party to interrogate him under the effects of Zone of Truth. Drakov mistakenly admitted that he had never bitten anyone before that night, revealing that he hadn't killed Bertram, as the body had been partially consumed. Temporarily broken out of jail and taken to a private location, Drakov confided in the party that he was being framed and blackmailed into accepting it. Although he was returned to his cage that night, the Champions Valoris broke him out again the next day in order to avert, or at least delay, his impending execution while they worked out a way to flush out Irwin. Drakov went into hiding for the time being.

Vila's Watch, Post-Tyrian
Upon the party's return to Vila's Watch, Drakov was a free man, his name having been cleared by the evidence against Irwin. However, the Dark Oak Tavern was closed for a week while the Vizinis and Drakov dealt with the fallout of the accusations. Still, the party found the tavern open to them as thanks for their help. They happily reunited with Drakov, who had resumed his job there. Drakov also witnessed Erak, Reides, and Jorah's drinking binge after Erak and Slumberjack's fight, preventing Erak from feeding whiskey to Pepega, suggesting "magic water" (regular water) as an alternative.

Goals
Drakov cares very much about his family and was willing to face execution for a crime he didn't commit in order to protect them. Fortunately, with his name cleared and his family safe, he seems able to live an ordinary life for now.

Abilities
As a werewolf, Drakov can transform into a wolf or into a human-wolf hybrid creature at will. He also has resistance to non-magical weapon attacks. However, his lycanthropy gives him a weakness to silver, which burns him to touch.

Drakov and the Vizinis
Drakov cares deeply for his sister and brother-in-law, and was willing to let himself be executed for a crime he did not commit in an effort to keep them safe. When he was broken out of jail, his first concern was how Natasha and Vladimir would be protected from the consequences.
