A fierce warrior from crèche K'liir, Lae'zel is a follower of Vlaakith, the Lich Queen of the githyanki. Sworn to obey her queen and serve as a blade against the Illithid, she was captured on her quest to present a Mind Flayer head to her queen. Now, tadpoled and with few options at hand, she must find a way to rid herself of the parasite and finally prove herself as a worthy warrior to the Undying Queen. How she does it, and whether she remains loyal to Vlaakith, is something she can decide throughout the game. | A fierce warrior from crèche K'liir, Lae'zel is a follower of Vlaakith, the Lich Queen of the githyanki.

Lae'zel is depicted as xenophobic, arrogant, and quick to anger. Proud of her species, she frequently makes comments to the party detailing the nature of her people, often as a means to illustrate githyanki superiority. She can be rough in her expressions and often cares little for the feelings of others. In her mission to remove her mind flayer parasite, she does not hesitate to intimidate or harm those who would step in her way. She is fiercely loyal to her queen | Lae'zel is depicted as xenophobic, arrogant, and quick to anger.

She can be rough in her expressions and often cares little for the feelings of others. In her mission to remove her mind flayer parasite, she does not hesitate to intimidate or harm those who would step in her way. She is fiercely loyal to her queen {{CharLink|Vlaakith}}, desperately seeking to prove her worth to the Lich Queen. Over time; she becomes more accepting of her companions, though never losing her biting edge. Despite her often vicious behaviour, she is keenly observant and frequently understands the feelings of party members. Lae'zel isn't above pragmatism either, willing to go along with a plan she disagrees with or work together with someone she dislikes, as long as the party stand to benefit. She is still a juvenile to her people, which is shown by her youthful stubbornness at times. | ||
When romanced, Lae'zel will slowly begin to soften up to her partner, and start enjoying the small things together with them, even seeing worth in Faerûn as a place to live in with her new lover. | When romanced, Lae'zel will slowly begin to soften up to her partner, and start enjoying the small things together with them, even seeing worth in Faerûn as a place to live in with her new lover. | ||
