'''Mizora''' is a [[Cambion|cambion]] in service of the Archdevil [[Zariel]], as well as [[Wyll|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 an adversary for the party, but she will always look out for her and Zariel's best interests. | '''Mizora''' is a [[Cambion|cambion]] in service of the Archdevil [[Zariel]], as well as [[Wyll|Wyll's]] infernal patron.

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 [[Deities#Tiamat|Tiamat]] cultists. Ever since, she's kept Wyll on a leash, using him for her own wicked interests. | Best described as a sadistic infernal lawyer, Mizora is one of Zariel's most important allies.

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. | 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.

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. | |||

Though manipulative, cruel and sadistic, she objects to being called as such as she considers herself a benefactress who always looks out for the best interest of her pets, twisted as it may seem. Indeed, though she may manipulate situations into her favor, and twist the meanings of pacts made, she never breaks a contract, always fulfilling her part of the deal. | ||
Despite her cruel demeanor, she does display some form of affection towards Zariel, who she always speaks of with a sense of loyalty and devotion and, if Wyll chooses to sacrifice his father in exchange for his freedom, she displays genuine respect for his decision and happiness for | Despite her cruel demeanor, she does display some form of affection towards Zariel, who she always speaks of with a sense of loyalty and devotion and, if Wyll chooses to sacrifice his father in exchange for his freedom, she displays genuine respect for his decision and happiness for his growing up, in her eyes. | ||

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 [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_War 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. | ||
As Wyll's patron, she had control on what young Ravengard could do and say, and depending on choices made, she was either a generous or punishing patron. Choices made would dictate whether she met an early grave in the Mind Flayer Colony after she was captured, or was freed and remained Wyll's patron, supporting him in her own wicked ways. Further decisions also resulted in either Mizora remaining as Wyll's patron for eternity or breaking their contract. | As Wyll's patron, she had control on what young Ravengard could do and say, and depending on choices made, she was either a generous or punishing patron.
