"True, but I can't imagine that he would look favorably upon another having images of the woman he intends to make his bride. Nor would I imagine him being one to play with dolls." Upon saying that, Ismark tries and fails to stifle a smile at the thought of the Devil Strahd having a collection of Ireena dolls and playing House with them in Castle Ravenloft.

"This all just further confirms that he is a twisted freak who must be stopped as soon as possible. We should start on our next journey first thing in the morning."
"Agreed." When you all re-enter the Blue Water Inn, you see Ireena and Rictavio talking to a man in a cowl. He possesses Elven features, but his skin and hair are darker than most elves are.

"My name is Kasimir Velikov. I am one of the Dusk Elves that lives with the Vistani that have made their home near this village. I heard that there was quite a commotion with the chieftain of that village, an oaf that possesses none of the valiant qualities of his ancestors. I was interested, so I asked and was told that some individuals that aren't from around here returned his daughter to him, but also attempted to interfere with his meting out justice. He said that you were heading here, so I came to this inn to wait. I assume that you must be those individuals, as you look nothing like anyone in Barovia."

“‘Interfering’ is far from what we did,” says Hadrian, “but as Fae says, yes, that was us. Hadrian Frozenspark,” he says, offering a salute common in the Ten-Towns region.
"Interfering was his word, not mine. The Vistani chieftain is a brutish man, so I care little for his 'justice'. But I was interested in you, so I came to see if his commotion was warranted or just a drunkard's bluff. You most certainly are not just a bluff. So tell me, what brings you here?"

"Oh, that was kind of an accident," Fae explains. "We got a letter asking us to come help Ireena, but that might have been a fake letter, but we came anyway! And now we're helping her! And apparently we're also vanquishing some kind of demon, but I wasn't really paying attention to that, the lady with the cards was talking about mountains under the ground, and of gold and stuff and she lost me there."
You're able to perfectly read Kasimir and learn that he does indeed possess a vendetta against Strahd and that he will be your ally if you're his enemies as well.

"There is one we know of, who does not live in your village, who has had recent contact with Ireena." Says Hadrian ominously.

“Nor his likeness on the face of a dummy,” Hadrian concedes, smiling at the toy in his hands.
