Lens is a journalist working for the Baldur's Mouth Gazette in the Lower City. She can be found north of Sword Coast Couriers, just before the bridge to Wyrm's Crossing in Rivington during Act 3.

Involvement

Act Three

Lens will hail the party as they pass by on the way to Wyrm's Crossing. She is collecting information about the refugee and closed-city situation, and can direct the party to the Baldur's Mouth Gazette to begin the quest Stop the Presses.

If the party has not already encountered Orin twice, she may appear as Lens and ask several questions about their victory over Ketheric and plans for the Netherbrain. The real Lens' corpse can later be found in Bhaal's temple. Completing Orin's "interview" earns the Inspirational Events Press Release (Noble background) and Blabbermouth (Entertainer background); these inspirations are not available if the real Lens is present, as an interview will not actually be conducted.

Meeting one of Orin's impersonations for the first time earns the Inspirational Event Personal Relations (Haunted One background).
