Ezmerelda d'Avenir was a Vistani adventurer who is an ally of Rudolph van Richten. She was played by guest star Mark Hulmes on the show.
Ezmerelda helped fend off Strahd during the battle in Krezk. She cursed him as she lost consciousness from her wounds, and both of them vanished.[1]
She was next seen at Castle Ravenloft as a vampire, having been turned by Strahd. She killed Falkon, who was trying to help Paultin escape.[2] Paultin cast Suggestion on her, which temporarily broke Strahd's influence on her. She helped Paultin get to a special room in Castle Ravenloft that could be used to teleport to the Amber Temple.[3]
Later, when the entire group came to Castle Ravenloft, Ezmerelda acquired the Sunsword for them. She helped the group defeat Strahd. Then, she asked them to kill her. She did not want to live as a vampire spawn. Paultin killed her with the Sunsword and she turned to ash.[4]
