Kith'rak Voss is a ruthless Githyanki knight in service of his queen, Vlaakith, and rides a red dragon steed named Qudenos.

Act 1

Kith'rak Voss is encountered at the Mountain Pass, where he arrives on his draconic steed, Qudenos, after his underlings slay several Flaming Fist. If he or his Githyanki underlings are approached, he will interrogate the player about the object of his mission, the Mysterious Artefact, which he believes is a powerful weapon that can be used against the Mind Flayers.

Regardless of how the interrogation ends, Voss will depart on Qudenos once the dialogue has finished.

Act 2

After completing the Discover the Artefact's Secrets quest, Kith'rak Voss will make a surprise visit when you fast travel or Long Rest outside of the Creche. He will speak directly to Lae'zel, trying to reason with her about the truth of Vlaakith's tyranny after her own recent betrayal. Further, he will claim to be opposing Vlaakith's reign and how the occupant within the Artefact is the key to her being overthrown. A critical choice must be made:

• If you chose to listen with him and reason with Lae'zel, he will urge to meet him again in Baldur's Gate at the Sharess' Caress.
• Or you can urge Lae'zel to attack him, leading to an optional boss fight. This will have considerable consequences, yet earn you Voss' Silver Sword. The Letter to Voss on his body will direct you to Sharess' Caress, continuing The Githyanki Warrior questline.

Act 3

See also Help Kith'rak Voss quest.

Voss can be found in Sharess' Caress in Wyrm's Crossing, trying to make deal with Raphael in the Devil's Den, but Voss has nothing to offer him. Raphael is in possession of the Orphic Hammer - a tool that can break the cage that holds Orpheus - the githyanki prince, son of Gith.

A long time ago Orpheus knew that Vlaakith I had betrayed his mother, and he led Gith's Honor Guard in a revolt and named himself the rightful king of the Githyanki, triggering the War of the Comet. At the head of the Honor Guard mounted on red dragons, Orpheus fought Vlaakith's knights in a battle in the Astral Plane, where he praised Gith and accused Vlaakith. Yet he was overcome and defeated by Kith'rak Voss on Qudenos and imprisoned within the Astral Prism, so that Vlaakith I (and now Vlaakith CLVII) may exploit the powers he inherited from his mother.

Years later Voss realized that Vlaakith does not act in the interests of Githyanki, and so he has sworn to free Gith's rightful successor.

If the party signs the deal with Raphael, they can show it to Voss immediately. Voss gifts the party a silver sword, a precious cultural item of the Githyanki. He then departs to prepare his forces to take on the Elder Brain.

If the party refuses the deal, Voss relocates to the Lower City Sewers near the Undercity Ruins waypoint. There, he waits for the party and will grant them the sword before leaving to gather his forces.

Trivia

• Kith'rak is a high-ranking Githyanki military title.
• Lae'zel states that he has served as a knight since Vlaakith I, the first queen of the githyanki; this would mean that he is potentially thousands of years old given the stasis of time in the Astral Plane.
