Ram Jaure 👨🏻‍🍳 "The Fat"

Ram Jaure is a towering, broad-shouldered Viking with a large, well-fed build, a man whose presence radiates warmth and boisterous energy. His thick, fiery red beard cascades down his chest, framing his jovial, round face. His wild, shoulder-length red hair flows freely, sometimes tied back when he cooks. His pale skin is weathered by years of adventure, with a few scars telling tales of past battles—or perhaps kitchen mishaps.

His deep blue eyes sparkle with mischief, always ready to share a hearty laugh or a well-timed joke. He wears a rugged leather vest over a simple, earth-toned tunic, often unbuttoned at the top, revealing a chest covered in red hair. A sturdy belt with multiple pouches and cooking utensils hangs around his waist, a reminder that he is as much a chef as he is a warrior. His arms are thick and muscular, his left forearm wrapped in a leather bracer, while his right sports an old tattoo from his days serving noble houses in Barovia.

His attire is practical yet adorned with small trinkets, including a pair of silver earrings shaped like tiny spoons, a humorous nod to his past. His weapons of choice are a massive butcher’s cleaver, worn at his hip, and a hefty battle axe, both equally suited for slicing meat or foes. Despite his imposing figure, Ram’s presence is anything but intimidating—his booming laughter and good-natured personality make him a beloved member of the White Sun Company.

He carries himself with confidence, his belly shaking with each laugh, never ashamed of his appetite or past mistakes. He tells the story of the "great pig incident" with such pride that one would think it was a heroic feat rather than a near-death experience. For Ram, every meal is an adventure, and every battle is a chance to earn a new story to share over a warm plate of food.

Ram Jaure is a man of boundless energy and infectious laughter, a larger-than-life personality wrapped in muscle, fat, and an unshakable love for food. Always the heart of any gathering, he thrives on camaraderie, sharing exaggerated tales of his exploits—both on the battlefield and in the kitchen—with a booming voice and theatrical flair. His sense of humor is as sharp as his cleaver, often laced with dark, culinary-themed jokes that make his companions laugh and wince in equal measure.

He sees every challenge as an opportunity to prove himself, whether in combat or in the art of cooking. Ram is fiercely proud of his craft, claiming that his meals can bring men to tears—whether from joy or the sheer spiciness of his experimental dishes. He has an uncanny ability to take the most questionable ingredients and turn them into something not just edible, but delicious. His cooking skills are both a blessing and a curse; his fellow mercenaries have learned never to ask what, exactly, they’re eating.

Despite his rugged, battle-worn appearance, Ram fancies himself a ladies' man. He flirts shamelessly with every woman he meets, oblivious to the fact that his scruffy beard, food-stained tunic, and permanent scent of roasted meat might not be as alluring as he believes. His confidence is unshakable—he carries himself as if he were the most dashing rogue to ever grace the land, completely unfazed by rejection.

Though he is a warrior by trade, Ram views violence much like he views cooking: a messy, necessary business, but one that should be done with flair. He fights with the same enthusiasm he brings to his kitchen, wielding his cleaver and axe with brutal efficiency while delivering quips about "tenderizing the meat" or "serving fresh cuts." He takes injuries in stride, often comparing battle wounds to kitchen burns and dismissing them with a laugh.

Loyal to a fault, Ram considers the White Sun Company his true family.

With nowhere else to go, he eventually ended up joining the Company of the White Sun, where he embraced life as both a mercenary and the company’s official cook. Though the incident cost him his career in noble kitchens, Ram bears no regrets—after all, the pig was delicious. and he would do it again if he had the chance.

The White Sun Company is a mercenary group forged by necessity and survival, operating in the lawless and treacherous lands of Barovia. Unlike traditional organizations, the White Sun Company has no central leader. Instead, decisions are made collectively by its members, ensuring a balance of power and mutual respect. Each member plays a distinct role, using their unique skills and abilities to contribute to the group's survival and effectiveness.

The company is known for its independence, not aligning itself with any particular faction, kingdom, or ideology. This lack of allegiance allows its members to operate freely, though it also places them in the crosshairs of both powerful allies and dangerous enemies. Their neutrality is both their strength and their greatest risk, as it attracts a diverse clientele and puts them at odds with those seeking to control or exploit their talents.

The members of the White Sun Company vary greatly in their motivations and alignments. Noble-hearted individuals are driven by a desire to protect the innocent and serve those in need, regardless of status or wealth. They embody the ideals of selflessness and hope, often taking on tasks that others would avoid simply because they feel it is the right thing to do.

On the other hand, other members view the White Sun Company as a means to secure their own futures. They are pragmatic and driven by personal gain, offering their skills to the highest bidder. This mercenary mindset often leads them to morally ambiguous work, though even they maintain a level of professionalism and loyalty to the group as a whole.

Despite these differences, the members of White Sun Company thrives on its diversity and they are very united by brotherhood depise their diferences. Their missions range from escorting vulnerable travelers through Barovia's dangerous terrain to eliminating wild monsters, negotiating with local factions, retrieving ancient artifacts or even unique services.

Esmeralda d'Avenir – "Ah, Esmeralda! She’s got the sharpest tongue and the deadliest aim, but she always appreciates a fine meal. I like teasing her about her refined taste, saying she wouldn’t last a day eating like us northern folk. She pretends to be above my cooking, but I’ve seen her sneaking seconds when she thinks no one’s looking. A fine woman, though she scares the hell out of me sometimes."

Adalard – "A man of discipline and steel, but I swear he needs to loosen up! I respect his skill, and he’s one of the few who can keep up with me in a drinking contest. He may act all serious sometimes, but I’ve caught him enjoying my food more than he admits. We fight side by side, and if he ever needs a good meal or a bad joke, I’m his man. Besides he repairs all my stuff and sharoens my cooking knives to the finest quality so Im deeply gratefull for his services"

Belial Shadow – "That man is a ghost with a knife, but I like him. He doesn’t talk much, but I know he enjoys a good meal—especially the spicier ones. Sometimes I test his patience by serving him something that looks suspicious just to see his reaction. He never flinches. Maybe he’s scarier than Esmeralda... but is a very good lad and he learned to really enjoy my food"

Vannius Nautikus – "Ah, the arnorian slavic prince! Fancy manners and noble airs, but surprisingly down to earth for someone of his status. He treats us mercenaries like equalls to him, and for that, I make sure he always has the best cuts of meat. I joke that he should have been born a northerner, but he just laughs, since the slavs are no diferent like the norsemen. Ah! If he ever sill needs a good cook for a royal feast one day, he knows where to find me!"

Unsanctioned Missions

Despite strict oversight, some veterans, guild officers, or independent agents occasionally offer off-the-record jobs. These missions are risky, as being caught defying Ravenloft’s will can lead to swift punishment. While most Barovians remain fiercely loyal to Strahd, some desperate souls can be bribed with food, coin, or comfort to assist in such endeavors.
