Overview

Backstory

In life, Illasera was once a Bhaalspawn and a member of the Five which was an alliance between five powerful Bhaalspawns formed by Amelyssan, Bhaal's high priestess, that sought to slaughter their siblings in exchange for power. Illasera was tasked to kill the famous Bhaalspawn known as Gorion's Ward and ambushed them and their party at the Grove of the Ancients. The two fought, but Gorion's Ward ultimately defeated Illasera, making her the first of the Five to have been slain.

When Bhaal was resurrected a century after Illasera's death, he brought her back as an Echo to serve in the Murder Tribunal along with Abazigal, Sendai and Amelyssan.

Interactions

Illasera is first encountered in the Murder Tribunal, where she accompanies Sarevok. If the party refuses to become an Unholy Assassin or performs any hostile actions she will become hostile. If the party instead completes Impress the Murder Tribunal and becomes an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal, she can be questioned to learn more about her history.
