Overview
Nocturne acts as quartermaster in the Cloister of Sombre Embrace, and will sell a small selection of items. If Shadowheart defies Shar and kills the cultists, Nocturne will only remain in the cloister until the next long rest, and will not be seen again. Otherwise, she will remain as quartermaster.
Involvement
Act Three
If Shadowheart consumed 
Noblestalk while in the Underdark, she will remember "a young tiefling boy" with short horns and purple hair who was named Rennald. Upon meeting Nocturne Shadowheart will realise that Nocturne is this young tiefling from her recovered memories. Nocturne, a trans woman, will go on to explain how Shadowheart used to be teased about her name - attacked for who she was - which helped Nocturne understand more about herself, and that she was not happy with who she was. Shadowheart's courage to keep fighting gave Nocturne the strength to find herself and eventually change her name from Renald to Nocturne.[1]
Nocturne will be surprised that Shadowheart made it back, as it was speculated in the cloister that the hunt for the artefact was a suicide mission, and further, that it was not Shar's plan but the Mother Superior's alone.
If Shadowheart takes control of the cloister, Nocturne stays on as quartermaster, and tells Shadowheart to come see her later so that they can catch up. Otherwise, she makes plans to go to another enclave, not yet brave enough to leave Shar entirely.
Epilogue
During the Epilogue, the player character can ask Shadowheart about Nocturne. If Shadowheart took over the cloister, she will relay that Nocturne is still the quartermaster, and is busy with the rapid growth of the enclave.
Otherwise, Nocturne is acting as informant to Shadowheart on the plans of some of the Sharran chapters, still a loyal friend to Shadowheart even though her faith and allegiances remain. Shadowheart hopes that Nocturne will turn from Shar in time, ready to support her in that change, but says it is "a decision she will have to make for herself".[2]
