Bildrath runs the one and only open shop in the Village of Barovia. His prices are unusually high for the common items he sells, but that’s probably because he knows he has a monopoly on the town’s trade. He will not bargain for sales, often saying “If you want it badly enough, you’ll pay for it.”

He lives with his nephew Parriwimple (Parpol Cantemir), and will command him to “take care” of visitors who give him and his shop a hard time.
