Vladimir Tzarlodovych, often simply known as Vlad, is a Fey Bodyguard of the Night Court of the Summer Glades. He has sworn his eternal night to Anastasia, Archfey of the Summer Nights. He regards her affectionately, calling her princess, yet despite their difference in stature and age, sees himself in the paternal role rather than the other way round. 

Though small, Vlad has been known to be a fierce warrior, and is an avid believer that any situation can be resolved with sufficient force and violence. So long as his Princess commands it, of course.. 

He prefers to take the form of a Feyland Blue cat, though has been known to be able to change shape at will to suit any situation. 

Claws. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 2d4+3 slashing damage.

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 1d8+3 slashing damage.

Heart Sight. Vlad's eyes stare into the soul of a creature he can see within 20 feet and magically knows the creature's current emotional state. If the target fails a DC 10 Charisma saving throw, Vlad also knows the creature's alignment. Celestials, fiends, and undead automatically fail the saving throw.

Etheral Escape. Vlad magically jumps between the material and etheral plane as if casting the spell Blink. The effect ends at the start of Vlads next turn, unless he chooses to spend an action to remain in the Ethereal plane.

Change Shape. Vlad magically polymorphs into a beast that has a challenge rating and size no higher than his own, or back into his fey form. He reverts to his true form if he dies. Any equipment he is wearing or carrying is absorbed or borne by the new form (Vlad's choice).

In a new form, Vlad retains his alignment, hit points, Hit Dice, ability to speak, proficiencies, and Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores, as well as this action. His statistics and capabilities are otherwise replaced by those of the new form, except any class features or legendary actions of that form.
