Once a soldier in [[Zariel|Zariel's]] army, she has been given a new chance at life after the recent events. Now, freed from [[Avernus]], she will make the most out of it, and no one will get in her way. She can be found and recruited on [[The Risen Road]] during Act 1, and romanced by characters of any gender.

In multiplayer sessions, if Karlach is chosen as an origin by a player, [[Wyll]] will be locked as an option to any other players.

=== Approval ===

Karlach has a very strong sense of right and wrong. She enjoys helping innocent people with their troubles and not expecting anything in return, something she finds in common with Wyll after their rocky first meeting. She approves of kind interactions with those in need, standing up for what's right, and being decisive with enemies. Setting her up for some fun, such as carousing or making some mayhem, also earns her approval, and being a compassionate friend to her, or a kind partner, is the easiest way of earning her trust and love.

=== Life in Baldur's Gate ===

At some point, Karlach got hired by [[Enver Gortash]] to act as his bodyguard. Rising quickly through the criminal and political circles of the city, Gortash was beginning to paint a target on his back, and Karlach seemed like the ideal person to protect him. Lured initially by the money and a chance to support her parents financially,{{ref|name=gortash|Campsite, lines spoken by Karlach when talking to her after she's disclosed her relationship with Gortash.<br>''"One of my mates got wind of a bit of work guarding some indoorsy type with lots of enemies. Seemed like easy money, so I went in for it. (...) I kept him safe, and he paid me well. Well enough to move my folks to a better neighborhood and put something away for the future. ''My'' future."''}} Karlach eventually developed deep respect for Gortash, not only because he trusted her enough to put his life in her hands, but because he also made her feel valued.{{ref|name=gortash2|Campsite, lines spoken by Karlach when talking to her after she's disclosed her relationship with Gortash.<br>''"I respected him. Trusted him. And he returned that trust, that respect. His life was in my hands, and I took that seriously."''}}{{ref|name=gortash3|[[Wyrm's Rock Fortress]], lines spoken by Karlach when confronting Gortash after antagonizing him.<br>''"You make it sound like we were lovers. Or friends. But that wasn't it. I trusted you. I respected you. It was my job to protect you, and that's what I did."''}} The pair worked well together for a while, until Gortash made a deal with the [[Zariel|Archdevil Zariel]], and sold Karlach to her for a grand sum of money in order to fund his plans for domination of the city. Zariel's interest in the tiefling was to test her new infernal machine,{{ref|name=gortash4|Campsite, lines spoken by Karlach when talking to her after she's disclosed her relationship with Gortash.<br>''"Zariel laughed. Said she paid him well for my services. She'd wanted to test her new machine, and he said I'd be able to handle it."''}} and Gortash was confident Karlach could handle it, that she would serve as a great prototype for his dreamed [[Steel Watcher|infernal automatons]].{{ref|name=gortash5|[[Wyrm's Crossing]], dialogue exchange between a Steel Watcher and Karlach.<br>''Steel Watcher: "Your unit is a highly outdated model. The ra-gnax casement protecting your metallurgised-ised valves is burning well outside the recommended temperature. Please report to the Steel Watch Foundry for dismantling."<br>Player: "It thinks you're one of them, Karlach. Why?"<br>Karlach: "(...) If it turns out I'm the fucking prototype for these things, I'll dismantle every single one of them.''}}

Back on the first plane of the Hells, Karlach and company prepare themselves to face the servants of Zariel. No longer alone, Karlach welcomes the challenge and readies her weapon in preparation of advancing imps.
