Echo of Amelyssan is a ghost of the former high priestess of Bhaal. She was the main antagonist of Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.
Backstory
In life, Amelyssan was once the high priestess of Bhaal. Before his death, Bhaal charged Amelyssan with the ritual needed to bring him back to life. When Bhaal perised in the Time of Troubles, Amelyssan sought to comeplete her task but not for her fallen god but for herself as she had later discovered that the divine essence of the slain Bhaalspawn would flow throught her, increasing her power.
Amelyssan in her new guise as Melyssan, sought to gather the bhaalspawn by presenting her as a kind woman that wished to help them. In secret however, she convinced five powerful bhaalspawn: Abazigal a blue dragon, Balthazar a human monk, Illasera an elven fighter, Sendai a drow cleric, and Yaga-Shura a fire giant to united and help her resurrect Bhaal with the promise that Bhaal would make them his right hand and ruled as demigods.
When Bhaal was resurrected a century later after Amelyssan's death, he brought her back as an Echo to serve in the Murder Tribunal along with Abazigal, Illasera and Sendai. However, unlike her fellow Echoes she sees this as slave sentence and punishment for her betrayal.
