Being a possible companion in each of the previous games, she canonically, if not traveled with, at the very least met Gorion's Ward (the protagonist of previous games) and their group as [[Jaheira]] and [[Minsc]] remember meeting her. Depending on player's actions and if Viconia was their companion, she could've also met [[Sarevok]].

In the century that passed since ''Baldur's Gate II'' Viconia DeVir became the Mother Superior of the [[Shar]] enclave in [[Baldur's Gate]]. She previously had a grander enclave in [[Waterdeep]], but Lady Shar commanded her to raze it and kill all her loyal followers. Viconia's new mission was to take a child of Selûne and turn them over to Lady Shar. At some point she likely surrendered a part of her memories to the [[Mirror of Loss]] {{note| "Where once the mirror showed nothing, there is now something. Memories, experiences, skills. All prised from the minds of others, and now offered to you, to choose from. [...] Turn to the wisdom of a drow. Once of Lothe, then of Shar."}} .

Recently she tasked Shadowheart with retrieving the [[Mysterious Artefact]] that will help them against [[the Absolute]].

If the player or [[Shadowheart]] undergoes the Mapping, Viconia will remove her hood revealing her identity and invite the party to the Cloister. She explains that she knows the party has the artefact in their possession and that she needs it to destroy the Absolute. If the Intimidation or Persuasion checks are passed, then Viconia will relent. However, she demands to hand over Shadowheart to her. The party can either agree, starting [[Surrender Shadowheart to Viconia]] quest, or refuse, which starts a fight. If Shadowheart is a Dark Justiciar, then she can convince some of the cultists to fight along with the party, taking over the cloister after Viconia's defeat.  

If the meeting results in combat, Viconia will manifest the fears she learned from the players (she will turn into a wolf to scare shadowheart, or she will temporarily turn the player into a mind flayer if the player told her their fear of becoming one).

If Shadowheart was handed over Viconia, Viconia can become an ally in the final battle providing [[Gather Your Allies#Viconia|Nightbringer's Shadow Adepts]] support, alternatively, if Shadowheart replaced her as the Mother Superior the same support will be provided by her instead.

* She gains unique spells depending on your answers during the Mapping of the Heart and the "Heartform" (False Heart, Craven Heart, etc) that she determines you have.
