Once a mere doctor from the dread domain of Darkon, Rudolph van Richten was forced down a haunted and tragic path of revenge after losing his wife and son to the cruelty of monsters. Now, as a legendary vampire hunter, he stands undaunted against the evils that dwell within the mists. Van Richten has trained a myriad of successors to his legacy throughout the years, including fellow Champion, Ez.

Rudolph van Richten is a Support, Hunter, and Debuff Champion who has dedicated his life to fighting evil, especially the undead. Van Richten supports Champions in the column in front of him, and this support increases as more undead are defeated. Undead foes are often encountered, as his greatest enemy Strahd summons them to get in his way. Once unlocked, you can find this human cleric in Seat 10 (Tyril).
