== Interactions ==
==Description==
Throughout the game, the party will encounter Mizora a few times.
===Appearance===
Mizora has short, fiery-red hair, tucked neatly behind her pointed ears. Her skin is pale blue, with purplish lips and coal-black eyes, iris speckled with fire. She adorns her hair with gold and rubies in an ornament similar to a tiara, and she dresses in a simple, yet elegant blue dress with a gilded belt. Her four hours and large wings give her an imposing presence, despite her alluring demeanour.
 
In her rare human form, she loses her devilish features, appearing instead with fair skin, less intense ginger hair and blue eyes.
 
===Personality===
Mizora is a cold and calculating cambion who delights in creating trouble for her pets, as she calls them. Though manipulative, cruel and sadistic, she objects to being called as such as she considers herself a benefactress who always looks out for the best interest of her pets, twisted as it may seem. Indeed, though she may manipulate situations into her favor, and twist the meanings of pacts made, she never breaks a contract, always fulfilling her part of the deal.
 
Despite her cruel demeanor, she does display some form of affection towards Zariel, who she always speaks of with a sense of loyalty and devotion and, if Wyll chooses to sacrifice his father in exchange for his freedom, she displays genuine respect for his decision and happiness for his growing up, in her eyes.
 
In the end, however, her interests come first and she's perfectly willing to use others for her own wicked aims, regardless of the cost.
 
====Relationship with Wyll====
Wyll appears to be Mizora's favorite pet and she enjoys watching him deal with the trouble she creates. It seems her interest doesn't stem purely from their Fiend-Warlock relationship, but rather out of genuine interest in him as she often contextualizes the troubles she puts him through as helping him grow up and reach his full potential. Whatever her real aims are, at least she shows some respect for Wyll whenever he's forced to make some impossible choices, and she thinks highly of his skills as a monster hunter.
 
== History ==
Little is known about Mizora's history. At some point during her life she was pressed into service by Zariel, who used her for infernal contracts. As such, she served during the [https://forgottenrealms.fandom.com/wiki/Blood_War Blood War] with Karlach, and the two know, and despise, each other. Whether by coincidence or orchestrated by herself, at some point she met Wyll, who was desperate to stop the Tiamat cultists from destroying [[Baldur's Gate]]. The two signed a pact together shortly after.
 
As Wyll's patron, she had control on what young Ravengard could do and say, and depending on choices made, she was either a generous or punishing patron. Choices made would dictate whether she met an early grave in the Mind Flayer Colony after she was captured, or was freed and remained Wyll's patron, supporting him in her own wicked ways. Further decisions also resulted in either Mizora remaining as Wyll's patron for eternity or breaking their contract.
 
Ultimately, she had an important part to play during the battle against the [[Absolute]], supporting Wyll and his companions against the cult.
 
===Wyll's pact===
When he was seventeen, Wyll encountered [[Deities#Tiamat|Tiamat]] cultists in the outskirts of Baldur's Gate, ready to summon the tyrannical dragon goddess to the plane. Eager to stop them, but young and powerless against many armed cultists, Wyll's desperation attracted Mizora who offered him a solution: her powers in exchange of servitude. Wyll didn't hesitate, and together they made quick work of the cult, however, young Ravengard would soon realize the cost of dealing with devils, as one of the many clauses of the pact prevented him from disclosing what happened that night.
 
When his father, [[Ulder Ravengard]], returned from [[Elturel]] to find his son accompanied by a devil, he demanded an explanation, yet Wyll's tongue was unable to explain what happened, and the scene of the ordeal was conveniently cleaned up. With cold disappointment, his father cast him out from the city, forever exiled to the frontiers.
 
At the end of Act Two, Mizora will lift Wyll's inability to speak about their pact, allowing him to explain himself to the player as they progress through his story. He will tell the player the entire truth once they encounter [[Ulder Ravengard]] at [[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]].
 
{{SpoilerBox|custom=Wyll's pact clauses|
Some of the clauses are revealed by Mizora throughout the game:
 
* Clause F &sect; 9: ''<nowiki/>'Soul-binder shall bestow reward or favour only upon soul-bearer's fulfillment of related obligation.'''
* Clause G &sect; 9: ''<nowiki/>'Targets shall be limited to the infernal, the demonic, the heartless, and the soulless.'''
* Clause Z &sect; 13: ''<nowiki/>'Should the promised soul refuse obeyance or neglect duty, the pact-holder shall cast the promised in Avernus as a lemure.'''
* Clause Z &sect; 13: ''<nowiki/>'If the soul-binder consents to separation, she will release the soul-bearer from all obligation within six months.'''
* Addendum F: ''<nowiki/>'The Absolute must be avenged for the soul-binder's detention at Moonrise. The soul-bearer retains his gifts until such time as the Absolute is slain.'''}}
 
Ever since, Mizora has treated Wyll like a bloodhound to hunt her and Zariel's targets, a tool to fulfill her twisted needs and desires.
 
== Events of Baldur's Gate 3 ==
As Wyll's patron, Mizora can be encountered a few times throughout the game.

If Karlach was killed, Mizora will be pleased and will reward Wyll with the [[Infernal Robe]]. If she was spared, however, she will remind Wyll the terms of their pact and argue that Karlach does indeed fit the description of ''heartless''. Should Wyll insist on not killing the tiefling, Mizora will take it as a breach of the pact, transforming him into a devil as punishment.

If Karlach joined the party, she will have a few choice words for Mizora, and talking to her afterwards reveals that they both served Zariel during the [[Blood War]].

Players are free to antagonize her without any negative consequences, however, though she will never truly die or fight back.
