Strahd vs. Van Richten
Count Strahd von Zarovich is D&D's Dracula. Ruler of Barovia, he owns and resides in part of Ravenloft, a plane of doom and horror (D&D's horror setting!). He has starred in novels, fought in crossovers (including against Lord Soth), and a painting of him got adapted into Castlevania art. So yeah, he's kind of a big deal as far as D&D villains go.
Rudolf von Richten is D&D's Abraham van Helsing. Although since this is D&D, he's not an old professor-mentor, he's an old professor-mentor who can kick ass! His background is needlessly convoluted, but it can be summarized as such: Bad things happened ot him, so he wrote the book on vampire hunting. And he's gonna take down Strahd somehow. Someday.
