Once [[Discover the Artefact's Secrets]] is complete, 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 that the occupant within the Artefact is the key to her being overthrown.
