Mordecai is never seen again in Rosebarrow. The horrors he witnessed in Barovia, and his failure to find Luther the Traitor having shaken his faith, and broken his pride. He would not dare return to his family and comrades bearing the shame of defeat.  

Though he and his new found companions defeated Strahd, Mordecai had ultimately failed his mission, but the Morninglord’s work is never done. 

Tales from commoners and pilgrims traveling between Rosebarrow and Frostbeard Keep speak of a dark avenger wielding a blade of sunlight. He charges out of the forest to ruthlessly slaughter bandits and highwaymen that accost travelers on the road. A fully armored warrior in dark vestments, the symbol of the Morninglord upon his chest, striking out to defend the innocent and vanishing just as suddenly as he arrives. 

All attempts to make contact with the avenger by the church have proven fruitless. 

Reports from witnesses of his deeds suggest he is a renegade paladin, though his identity remains a mystery. To the people of Rosebarrow the fate of Mordecai Andrion, Paladin of Lathander, remains a mystery. 

Mordecai has since retaken his oath, and now follows a different path in the name of Lathander, to be the avenging angel that strikes out against the darkness of the world.
