Overview

Backstory

In life, Illasera was once a Bhaalspawn and a member of the Five which was an alliance between five powerful Bhaalspawns formed by  Amelyssan, ⁠Bhaal's high priestess, that sought to slaughter their siblings in exchange for power. Illasera was tasked to kill the famous Bhaalspawn known as Gorion's Ward and ambushed them and their party at the ⁠Grove of the Ancients. The two fought, but Gorion's Ward ultimately defeated Illasera, making her the first of the Five to have been slain.

Bhaal was ⁠resurrected a century after Illasera's death. After this  Sarevok Anchev was able to bring her back as an Echo to serve in the Murder Tribunal along with  Abazigal,  Sendai and  Amelyssan.

Involvement

Illasera is first encountered in the Murder Tribunal, where she accompanies Sarevok. If the party refuse to become an Unholy Assassin or performs any hostile actions she becomes hostile. If the party instead completes ⁠Impress the Murder Tribunal and becomes an Unholy Assassin of Bhaal, she can be questioned to learn more about her history.
