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.

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. | ||

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.

When his father, [[Ulder Ravengard]], returned from [[Elturel]] to find his son accompanied by a devil, he demanded an explanation, yet Wyll's tongue was unable to explain what happened, and the scene of the ordeal was conveniently cleaned up.

At the end of Act Two, Mizora will lift Wyll's inability to speak about their pact, allowing him to explain himself to the player as they progress through his story.

Mizora will cause trouble once more for Wyll and the party if [[Florrick|Counsellor Florrick]] survived her ordeals and was rescued from [[Wyrm's Rock Prison]] and Wyll chose to sacrifice his father.

Mizora will then explain that she's merely ensuring the deal goes through as pacted between them. | ||
If left unattended, the spiderlings will approach Duke Ravengard and explode, killing him in the process. The party can, however, save him by using [[Help]] to break him out of his stupor and transporting him to the submersible. If successful and the duke survives, Wyll and his father may have a long overdue reunion, and can then speak to Mizora, who will not be entirely pleased about the outcome but will otherwise not punish Wyll for outfoxing her. | If left unattended, the spiderlings will approach Duke Ravengard and explode, killing him in the process.

In total, the player character can choose three times, and Mizora will comment on each realm chosen. At the end, and infused with hellish delight, Mizora will envelop the player character with her wings and consummate the affair. | ||
The morning after, Mizora will wake the player up and comment on the night. As promised, she will remark that it was but a taste and leave the player wanting for more.
