male human cleric 2, Lawful Good[1]
In Expedition to Castle Ravenloft
No one bearing the exact name of Donavich appears in this I6 Reboot. However, a rather corrupt priest with the quite similar name Danovich shows up as a secondary antagonist. Danovich is a formerly good and pure fighter of evil that was corrupted by using fragment of the Liber Blaspheme to reanimate his dead son Doru[2]
In Curse of Strahd
In the 5th Edition remake and reinterpretation of the class Ravenloft module, Donavich has been driven to the brink of madness by the murder and reanimation of his son Doru as a vampire spawn. Strahd sent Doru back to the Village of Barovia to taunt and gaslight Donavich in an effort to crumple the priest's sanity and put an end to his church. In 5th Edition, Donavich is represented by the Acolyte NPC Archetype with a Lawful Good Alignment.[3]
Donavich is a potential Enemy of Strahd as revealed by Madame Eva's reading of the Fortunes of Ravenloft. If this is the case, Donavich will not help the player characters until vampire spawn Doru has been destroyed and buried.[4]
