Mizora is a Cambion in service of the Archdevil Zariel, as well as Wyll's infernal patron. She plays an important role in Wyll's backstory, as well as his character arc throughout the game. Manipulative, mischievous and always looking to get the best out of her deals, she may be an asset or and adversary for the party, but she will always look out for her and Zariel's best interests.

Overview

Background

Best described as a sadistic infernal lawyer, Mizora is one of Zariel's most important allies. As Wyll's patron, she is directly related to his fate throughout the game, and the party has to deal with her whether they like it or not. Initially kept a secret by Wyll due to pact clauses, Mizora is the source of his powers and the reason why he was cast out from Baldur's Gate following young Ravengard's massacre of Tiamat cultists. Ever since, she's kept Wyll on a leash, using him for her own wicked interests.

Throughout the game, the party has to interact with Mizora, and depending on the choices made, they can have good, neutral or very bad outcomes. Should Wyll follow Mizora's demands to the letter, she will reward him generously; should he be defiant instead, she'll castigate Wyll, though often applauding his spine.

Ultimately, her fate is intertwined with Wyll's. If rescued from the Mind Flayer Colony, she'll reward Wyll and be open to break the contract earlier than expected not long afterwards, becoming a powerful ally. If left to die, or killed altogether, she'll take Wyll back to Avernus as well, forever sealing his fate.

Interactions

Throughout the game, the party will encounter Mizora a few times.

Act 1

Though alluded to earlier in conversation with Wyll, Mizora's first appearance is upon the conclusion of the first part of his quest to hunt Karlach. Whether successful or not, Mizora will appear at the campsite and introduce herself.

If Karlach was killed, Mizora will be pleased and will reward Wyll with the Infernal Robe. If she was spared, however, she will remind Wyll the terms of their pact and argue that Karlach does indeed fit the description of heartless. Should Wyll insist on not killing the tiefling, Mizora will take it as a breach of the pact, transforming him into a devil as punishment.

If Karlach joined the party, she will have a few choice words for Mizora, and talking to her afterwards reveals that they both served Zariel during the Blood War.

Act 2

At some point during act two, Mizora will appear before Wyll and the party, informing Wyll that the Cult of the Absolute have captured an important asset of Zariel, a powerful devil, and that he must rescue them. Stressing out the importance of the mission, Mizora disappears as quickly as she arrived.

Zariel's asset won't be found in Moonrise Towers, however, but rather in the Mind Flayer Colony where it's revealed that the powerful devil is none other than Mizora herself. Captured as she was navigating the Shadowlands, she was imprisoned in a mind flayer pod, blocking her from any spellcasting and any means of escaping by herself. Now, with Mizora on her back foot for the first time since meeting her, the party can bargain for Wyll's release from the pact in exchange for freeing her. Mizora, and Wyll's fate, can go two ways from here: either Mizora is left to her luck, or killed outright, which also means damning Wyll to an eternity in Avernus as a Lemure; or rescuing her, gracing the party with the devil's gratitude. If saved, and convinced to reward the party through a successful DC 14 Persuasion check, Mizora will reward Wyll with the Infernal Rapier. Mischievous as ever, she will also lift Wyll's restriction on talking about their pact before leaving.

Mizora will then appear one last time at the Campsite, where she reveals that an additional clause of the pact allows her to keep Wyll bound for six more months before his official release.

Act 3

Mizora may appear once more during Act 3, provided she was saved from the Mind Flayer Colony. She will be waiting for Wyll and the party in Wyrm's Rock Fortress, next to the doors leading up to the main audience chamber. Vicious as ever, she will taunt Wyll by mocking his father's situation as a thrall to Enver Gortash, goading Wyll to hurry and meet him before coming back to her for a chat. When the party returns, Mizora will announce that she is ready to break the pact between her and Wyll, and that she will meet everyone back at the campsite.

After the next long rest, Mizora will appear, accompanied by two infernal arbiters, Cirrus and Feena. Wyll immediately knows something is amiss as their presence can mean only one thing: they are here as legal witnesses. Mizora explains that she knows where Wyll's father is being kept and that she might be inclined to share the information, but she asks for a sacrifice in return. Young Ravengard is then presented with a choice: Break the pact immediately, but sacrifice his father to his fate, or remain forever bound to Mizora in exchange for his father's freedom.

Mizora will be pleased with whatever choice Wyll makes, though she shows some genuine surprise and respect should Wyll choose his own personal freedom over his father's life. Regardless of the choice, Mizora will remain in camp as a camp follower out of amusement, allowing the party to talk to her and learn more about Wyll's patron.

Combat

Due to Zariel's Protection, Mizora is unkillable and a combat encounter is not possible with her. Players are free to antagonize her without any negative consequences, however, though she will never truly die or fight back.

Loot

Mizora cannot be killed and looted.

History

Very little is known about Mizora's history. At some point during her life she was pressed into service by Zariel, who used her for infernal contracts. As such, she served during the Blood War with Karlach, and the two know, and despise, each other. Whether by coincidence or orchestrated by herself, at some point she met Wyll, who was desperate to stop the Tiamat cultists from destroying Baldur's Gate. The two signed a pact together shortly after.

Mizora's fate is largely in the hands of the player and Wyll.

Wyll's pact

When he was seventeen, Wyll encountered Tiamat cultists in the outskirts of Baldur's Gate, ready to summon the tyrannical dragon goddess to the plane. Eager to stop them, but young and powerless against many armed cultists, Wyll's desperation attracted Mizora who offered him a solution: her powers in exchange of servitude. Wyll didn't hesitate, and together they made quick work of the cult, however, young Ravengard would soon realize the cost of dealing with devils, as one of the many clauses of the pact prevented him from disclosing what happened that night.

When his father, Ulder Ravengard, returned from Elturel to find his son accompanied by a devil, he demanded an explanation, yet Wyll's tongue was unable to explain what happened, and the scene of the ordeal was conveniently cleaned up. With cold disappointment, his father cast him out from the city, forever exiled to the frontiers.

At the end of Act Two, Mizora will lift Wyll's inability to speak about their pact, allowing him to explain himself to the player as they progress through his story. He will tell the player the entire truth once they encounter Ulder Ravengard at Wyrm's Rock Fortress.

Spoiler warning! This section reveals Wyll's pact clauses

Some of the clauses are revealed by Mizora throughout the game:

• Clause F § 9: 'Soul-binder shall bestow reward or favour only upon soul-bearer's fulfillment of related obligation.'
• Clause G § 9: 'Targets shall be limited to the infernal, the demonic, the heartless, and the soulless.'
• Clause Z § 13: 'Should the promised soul refuse obeyance or neglect duty, the pact-holder shall cast the promised in Avernus as a lemure.'
• Clause Z § 13: 'If the soul-binder consents to separation, she will release the soul-bearer from all obligation within six months.'
• Addendum F: 'The Absolute must be avenged for the soul-binder's detention at Moonrise. The soul-bearer retains his gifts until such time as the Absolute is slain.'

Notes

• Mizora will still grant Wyll his demonic powers even if the contract between them is ended, so long as he avenges her for being captured by the Cult of the Absolute
• Zariel's Protection makes Mizora functionally unkillable. Any damage she takes is reduced to 0 and she will immediately disappear. Bleed-over-time effects will result in Mizora disappearing and reappearing until the effect ends.
