Lae'zel

Lae'zel in her default armour

Lae'zel is a Githyanki warrior, who appears in Baldur's Gate 3 as a side character or origin character. She is also available as a companion.

Background

Lae'zel is a Githyanki Warrior, originally from an Asteroid in the Astral Plane, known as "Stardock" (or "Crèche K'liir" to Githyanki). Before the events of Baldur's Gate 3, Lae'zel was captured at an unknown point in a time and from an unknown location, by Mind Flayers. Not much is known about her life prior to this, however, as she is a young, low-ranking Githyanki, it can be assumed she was spending most of her time in Crèche K'liir and conducting raids on Toril. After being abducted, she is encountered by the player on the Nautiloid. They join forces in order to commandeer the Nautiloids transponder and escape. Afterward, she is captured by a pair of Tieflings, and the player has the option to rescue her and invite her to their party.

Personality

Lae'zel is a lawful-evil character and is depicted as xenophobic, arrogant, and quick to anger. She is proud of Githyanki, and frequently makes comments to the party detailing Githyanki customs, and the nature of her people. In her mission to remove her Mind Flayer parasite, she does not hesitate to intimidate or harm those who would step in her way. She also approves of evil-aligned actions from the player, such as betraying Astarion to a vampire hunter. She is fiercely loyal to Vlaakith, the queen of all Githyanki.

Gameplay

As a Fighter, Lae'zel should be at the forefront of most combat situations. She can easily tank damage and deal major damage back to enemies in return. At level 3, Lae'zel gains a Martial archetype, which allows her to broaden her current play style, or diverge into something different.

Lae'zel starts with proficiency in these skills:

• Athletics
