Josef Van Richten was a ghost hunter who appears in Night of the Necromancer.
He was the brother of the Van Richten who appears in Howl of the Werewolf. Josef Van Richten was equipped with a means of capturing Evil spirits in bottles, and carried a silvered rapier capable of wounding incorporeal beings.[1]
He was, like his brother, convinced that all supernatural creatures were evil and dangerous, and would not hesitate to attack the player on those grounds alone.
Trivia[]
- His Skill and Stamina are 10 and 9 respectively, exactly the same as his brother's.
- The two Van Richtens share a name - and a background with vampires - with Rudolph Van Richten, a character from the AD&D Ravenloft horror campaign setting, who is in turn a thinly veiled reference to Bram Stoker's figure from Dracula, Abraham van Helsing, and actor Peter Cushing's film portrayals of him.
