Baron Vostrasz

Baron Vostrasz, a character from the Blades of Light and Shadow series, is an agent of the Shadow Court. Although he is first mentioned in a lore tablet in Chapter 9, he can make his first appearance in Book 1, Chapter 15.

Appearance
Baron Vostrasz has red eyes, long white hair, and dark gray skin. He wears black and silver armor.

Personality
Tyril calls Baron Vostrasz a wretched sadist who preys on the weak and vulnerable, a coward who will not face anyone who would pose a real threat.

Background
Tameos of House Goldbearer was a powerful politician and merchant according to the third lore tablet. He was responsible for the founding of the Society for Unorthodox Magic which later became the Shadow Court. Rumors said he was sadistic, with dungeons hidden behind his villa and missing young women in his employ.

As Baron Vostrasz, he directed the Court's forces and brokered alliances with those willing to side with them. Of all the members of the Court, Tyril believes Baron Vostrasz is one of the weaker members.

Loola Dupopodolis
Baron Vostrasz captured Loola during the Great War, and has been torturing her for centuries. If you recruited Loola and beat him in the fight in Book 1, Chapter 15, she takes revenge for everything he did to her and stabs Vostrasz with lances of ice which makes him fall into the pendulum's path, cleaving him in two.

Tyril Starfury
If you obtained the memory orb, Tyril will use the knowledge from it against Vostrasz and will also name Lady Errylyn of House Frostcrow, Vyctoria of House Sandblossom, and Tyril's unnamed little sister who were killed by Vostrasz.

Your Character
If you beat him in the fight, didn't recruit Loola and you are an Orc, you can ram him which makes him fall into the pendulum's path, killing him.

If you beat him in the fight and didn't recruit Loola, you can have Imtura kick him into the pendulum's path, killing him.

Mal Volari
If you beat him in the fight and didn't recruit Loola, you can have Mal deal with him. Mal will throw his dagger, slicing Vostrasz's cheek and pushing him towards the pendulum but it will only cut Vostrasz's back and before you can rush him again he escapes through tendrils of shadows.
