Gottlieb Xinger.

After several play sessions with him in Curse of Strahd he revealed himself to be a “tired dad” archetype. He answers every call for help in Barovia Villiage (but with a sigh), he teaches his 18-years-old wizard partymate life and survival lessons, he chuckles about “weird outsiders” with a local shop owner and was deemed trustworthy by a local priest, as he lost his son, and Gottlieb looks over orphans back at his home city whenever he’s not hunting. The priest trusted a drow the most! Our DM was wheezing.

Gottlieb Xinder. Gloomstalker ranger for a new campaign - Curse of Strahd, here I come!

Every time I play in Ravenloft setting, I try to embellish various classical European designs into my characters’ designs. I often use theatrical costumes for a character’s outfit, as those are more fantasy-driven. This time it is robin-hood-like aesthetic mixed with traditional German motives, but instead of traditional embroidery it is spider webs embroidery to represent the Underdark.

Gottlieb is a classical Faerun drow with tough life and tough exterior, but a golden heart inside. Two red eyes glowing in the dark corner of the tavern - that’s the edgelord I wanna play! Nevertheless, my partymates have already made a meme of him and decided this piece of gloomy moss can be Strahd’s new bride.

Gottlieb Xinger now has a GUN.

…Gottlieb is a survivor of Drow House Wars. As a child, he was smuggled to the surface by the members of Bregan D’aerthe and was placed in an orphanage in Luskan. He then became their minion, performing small crimes, burglaries and thefts as a repay for his survival. Members of Bregan D’aerthe were known pirates and always carried gunpowdered pistols with them, which were madly expensive for an orphan like Gottlieb. This deadly and ornamented weapon couldn’t be compared to any knife or sword.

A hundred years later, in Barovia, he stole a musket from a trap in House of Lament. Now, he would rather die than be separated from his gun, as it represents him overcoming from his past and taking back the control over his life. Even if he chooses to separate from civilisation and live in a forest alone, that’s still his own choice.
