Donner

Harper Donner is a Harper who guards and reinforces the barriers leading into the main plaza of Last Light Inn during Act Two.

Jaheira seems sure of you. I hope she's right. This barricade might keep the shadows out, but it won't help against what's already inside.

Involvement

Act Two

Last Light Inn

Donner can be first encountered at the Last Light Inn, reinforcing the barricade with planks, which Antony and Chenti bring to him. He can be observed in the background as Elifer and Jaheira interact with the party, stepping aside to make way for Mol, if she is alive and comes to the party's rescue. Alternatively, he can be lightly pushed aside by Marcus, if the tiefling refugees do not make it to Last Light. If Marcus is exposed as a True Soul, Donner gets  Stunned and joins the fight against the summoned Crawling Claws.

Talking with Donner after exposing Marcus' true identity reveals he is the only Harper around who is still unwilling to trust the party, berating them that Marcus got away without being injured and that the party is only doing this to gain their trust.

Donner can then be observed reinforcing and sharpening the barricades with a dagger until later events, occasionally chatting with Antony who is bringing him wood.

Resolve the Abduction

When Flaming Fist Marcus attacks the inn and attempts to kidnap Isobel during  Resolve the Abduction, Donner usually fails his saving throw and is  Impaled for the remainder of battle. If Isobel is not saved, Donner and everyone in Last Light Inn, save for Jaheira, turn into  Shadow-Cursed Undead.

Assault Moonrise Towers

If Isobel is saved and the Nightsong is freed from her cage and heads for Moonrise Towers, Donner follows Jaheira to the assault on Moonrise. However, Donner is killed during the fight against Absolute forces before the party members arrive. His corpse is on the bridge leading to Moonrise Towers, implying he was amongst the first to fall in battle.
