Essius can be first encountered at the Last Light Inn's plaza, where can he can be seen chatting with Ulthred next to the fountain. Whereas Ulthred might at first be skeptical and doubting of the party, Essius will attempt to talk him down and be open to the party's help.
Resolve the Abduction
When Flaming Fist Marcus attacks the inn and attempts to kidnap Isobel during Resolve the Abduction, Essius will frequently be amongst the Harpers that will avoid being , and will run up to fight with the Winged Horrors. If the party fails to protect Isobel, he and everyone in Last Light Inn will turn into a , save for Jaheira.
Assault Moonrise Towers
If the party successfully prevented Marcus from capturing Isobel at the Last Light Inn, and once the Nightsong has been freed from her cage and is headed for Moonrise, Essius will follow Jaheira to Moonrise Towers, where he, along with Harper Antony, Lymn, and Naysa will survive the first assault and assist the party in the remaining fight against Absolute forces.
After the main battle, if he manages to survive the fight, he will guard the first floor of Moonrise Towers with the remaining Harpers. Once Ketheric Thorm is defeated and the party moves on to Act Three, Essius will completely disappear.
