Skip, you don't see any markings on the skeleton's belongings to determine who he is, but you do see three darts stuck in his armour and his ribcage that seems to have come from a trap in the chest. The chest contains three blank books with black leather covers, three spell scrolls (bless, protection from poison, and spiritual weapon), the deed to the house, the deed to a windmill, and a signed will. The windmill referred to in the second deed is situated in the mountains east of Vallaki. The will is signed by Gustav and Elisabeth Durst and bequeathes the house, the windmill, and all other family property to Rosavalda and Thornboldt Durst in the event of their parents' deaths.

Rose also knows that he resides in a castle called Ravenloft not too far from the village of Barovia.
