Background

Karlach was a citizen of Elturel before being taken prisoner and forced to fight in the Blood War, the eternal conflict between demons and devils. She was a prisoner and champion of Zariel, Archdevil and ruler of Avernus, the first layer of the Nine Hells. Taking a risky chance on escape, Karlach boarded a hostile Mind Flayer ship when it appeared in the sky of Avernus. Using it, she made her escape from the Hells but was infected with a Mind Flayer Tadpole in the process. Now hunted, Karlach is a fugitive on the run from Zariel's forces, who seeks to have her warrior returned to her, and punished.

Personal Quest

Karlach's Companion Quest is: Our Fiery Friend.

Personality

Karlach is a foul-mouthed and brusque warrior. She's independent, but not afraid to accept outside help when necessary.
