'''Karlach Cliffgate''' is an [[Origin characters|Origin Character]] and a recruitable [[Companion]]{{ref|Karlach was originally voiced by [https://www.imdb.com/name/nm5964389/ Shala Nyx] in Early Access but was replaced once she became an origin and companion in the main game release.}} with the [[Outlander]] background. She is a [[Tiefling#Zariel tieflings|Zariel Tiefling]] and a [[Barbarian]] first appearing during [[Act 1|Act One]]. | |||
Once a soldier in [[Zariel|Zariel's]] army, she has been given a new chance at life after the recent events. Now, freed from [[Avernus]], she will make the most out of it, and no one will get in her way. She can be first found on [[The Risen Road]] during Act One, where she can be recruited into the party as well as romanced by characters of any gender. | Once a soldier in [[Zariel|Zariel's]] army, she has been given a new chance at life after the recent events.

Karlach | Before she is recruited, Karlach is a level 3 Barbarian with the following [[Ability Scores]]: STR = 16, DEX = 13, CON = 14, INT = 8, WIS = 12, CH = 12. | ||
If she is recruited, then Karlach changes to a level 1 Barbarian with the standard ability scores for that [[Class]], with a focus on two-handed weapons. Upon reaching level 3, she defaults to the [[Wildheart]] subclass, granting her access to a variety of animal-themed class features and actions. | |||

She will also abandon the party if they decide to side with goblins while having her recruited. If she is in the party when the party sides with the goblins during the raid on the grove, she will assist until the fight at the gate is concluded at which point she will leave the party. | ||
Karlach can be found on [[The Risen Road]], on a road near the [[Toll house|Toll House]], precisely at {{Coords|111|503}}. Cornered by Zariel's bloodhounds, she can be found nursing her wounds after the recent encounter. The party can talk to her and recruit her, provided they agree to help her get rid of the pursuers. Returning to {{CharLink|Anders}} and his team with Karlach in the party will ultimately result in battle. | Karlach can be found on [[The Risen Road]], on a road near the [[Toll house|Toll House]], precisely at {{Coords|111|503}}.

Karlach is tall and well-built, her muscle-bound body toned after many years battling in the first layer of the Hells. Her vermilion skin is covered in scars and burns received in Avernus, with tattoos adorning her left arm and parts of her abdomen. Small exhaust vents on her shoulders billow steam whenever her ersatz mechanical heart flares up, clearly visible under her chest. | Karlach is tall and well-built, her muscle-bound body toned after many years battling in the first layer of the Hells.

Despite her intimidating presence, Karlach has a soft and amiable face, with an easy smile on her lips. Her pointed ears stick out and her left horn curves backwards and out, while the right one seems to have been broken off some time ago. She keeps her hair, dark-brown with reddish accents, long and messy with some simple braids adorned by metal discs, falling on the right side of her neck, below the trimmed side of her head. Her eyes are dark yellow, with the distinctive tiefling slit pupils, and light moles and freckles mark her nose and upper cheeks.{{ref|Throughout development Karlach had multiple design changes. In Early Access she only had a placeholder model created with the same assets as a custom character, with two horns and no scars and was a Fighter (with a datamined tag of a Paladin). Concept art shows different proposals for her face, initially planning to give her more scars and more aggressive features. She also had a few different starter armour designs with one repurposed to become {{SmRarityItem|Unwanted Masterwork Scalemail}}.

She'll then ask if the player character will stay with her during the moment when her infernal engine finally gives out. | ||
