Raphael: Difference between revisions

One such contractee was the architect of [[Moonrise Towers]]. They bargained to end [[Ketheric Thorm]]'s [[Dark Justiciar]] army in exchange for their soul. {{ref|''[[Mason's Log]]'' by [[Infernal Mason]]}} Raphael contracted [[Yurgir]] and his legion of [[Merregon]]s, who destroyed all but one of the Justiciars, who himself made a deal with Raphael to guarantee his survival in the form of many rats. As Yurgir did not technically complete his end of the bargain, he remained trapped in the [[Gauntlet of Shar]] and under contract of Raphael.  

Raphael bore witness to the fall of Netheril through [[Netheril#Karsus'_Folly|Karsus' Folly]]; a magocracy destroyed by Karsus' inability to control the [[Crown of Karsus]]. However, Raphael saw also Karsus' ambition for creating a "better world" and ever since, coveted the crown for use in uniting the Nine Hells under his rule as Archdevil Supreme. {{ref|Raphael in the [[Devil's Den]]}}

At some point, likely after the fall of Netheril, Raphael's father sent him an incubus, [[Haarlep]], to distract him from an unknown task (possibly his designs on the crown, though this is task is not expanded upon anywhere). This was met mostly with success, thanks to Raphael's arrogance and narcissism. {{ref|name=HaarlepSWD}}

While in the Wilderness, one of Raphael's agents, [[Korrilla]], will be keeping an eye on the party. If the player character is captured by [[Gut]], Korrilla will kill her instantly. She will then free the player character and reveal Raphael sent her. Korrilla will tell the player character to watch their back, as Raphael is not always going to be around to save them.

Regardless of having interacted with Korrilla before, she can briefly be found at the [[Campsite]], during the 'Celebrate at Camp' stage of the quest [[Save the Refugees]]. Shortly after the party starts, Korrilla appears to teleport into the northern part of the camp and can briefly be found sneaking around, towards where [[Gale]] is camped, before disappearing.

During Act Two, Raphael can first be found at the [[Last Light Inn]], playing lanceboard with [[Mol]], if she survived. If [[Astarion]] is in the party, Raphael will offer him a deal for information about his scar. Mol can be spoken to after Raphael disappears, and will tell the party that she is considering making a deal with him.

Finding the creature inside the Mausoleum, the party will discover that Rapahel's enemy is [[Yurgir]], an orthon who is trapped in a contract with Raphael. If his contract is successfully broken, Raphael will appear to take Yurgir back to the House of Hope to discuss a new contract.

After reaching [[Wyrm's Crossing]] in Act Three, Korrilla will appear at [[Sharess' Caress]]' bar, and will try and convince the party to take Raphael's deal. Upstairs in the [[Devil's Den]], Raphael will be speaking to [[Voss]], who wishes to make a deal with him in exchange for the Orphic Hammer. He is uninterested in anything Voss has to offer, but will instead offer it to the party in exchange for the [[Crown of Karsus]]. Raphael wants to unite the hells using the crown, and rule over them. The party can take this deal, or attempt to steal the Hammer from Raphael's [[House of Hope]].

The party can also just visit (or loot everything but the hammer from) Raphael's house. Here they will discover he is keeping Korrilla's sister, [[Hope]], captive, and that he prefers to have sex with an incubus who looks like a younger version of himself, [[Haarlep]].
