'''Karlach''' is a playable character in [[Baldur's Gate 3]], who can either be selected as an [[Origin]] during character creation, or recruited as a [[Companion]] when playing a different character. | |||
== | == Gameplay == | ||
Karlach | * Karlach is a [[Tiefling]] with the [[Outlander]] background, and the default class of [[Barbarian]]. | ||
* Due to the ''Infernal Engine'' in her chest, Karlach is uniquely able to spend [[Soul Coin|Soul Coins]] as consumable items. Doing so will grant her {{IconLink|Generic Fire Condition Icon.webp|Infernal Fury (Condition)|Infernal Fury|size=25}} until her next [[Long Rest]]. This feature is available whether she is played as the Origin or a Companion. | |||
* During a Multiplayer session, if one player selects the Karlach Origin, all other players are prevented from selecting the [[Wyll]] Origin, and vice-versa. [[Wyll]] can still be recruited as a companion after character creation. | |||

Until I know what to do with this information, I'm just commenting it out since we appear to have a more up-to-date Character Info Box. --ArcaneFocus | |||

== | ==Story== | ||
<!-- ArcaneFocus here (9/16/2023): I want to add info about the Engine, her history in the city, and more. Just gonna take time because I restarted my origin playthrough. Feel free to add information before me! --> | |||
=== Personal History === | |||
Karlach was a citizen of the Lower City of Baldur's Gate 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. | |||

== Trivia == | |||
* Karlach is voiced by [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1404374/ Samantha Béart]. | |||
** Karlach was originally voiced by [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5964389/ Shala Nyx] in Early Access. | |||
*In [[Multiplayer]], if Karlach is chosen as an Origin by one player, [[Wyll]] cannot be chosen by any other players, and vice versa. | |||
*Throughout develompent Karlach had multiple design changes. | |||
** In Early Access she only had a placeholder model created with the same assets as a custom charcater. He had two horns and no scars and was a Fighter (with a datamined tag of a Paladin). | |||
** Concept art shows different proposals for her face, intially planning to give her more scars and more agressive features. She also had a few different starter armor designs with one repurposed to become [[Unwanted Masterwork Scalemail]]. Her other concept armor can be seen on her [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/File:Karlach_CLB.jpg Magic the Gathering Card]. | |||
