'''Branthos''' is a [[wood elf]] [[fighter]] who is part of the [[Harpers]] in [[Act Two]]. Originally holed up in [[Last Light Inn]] patrolling the outskirts and main plaza of the sanctuary, Branthos plans and sets up an elaborate ambush against an [[Absolute|Absolutist]] convoy.

After talking with [[Jaheira]], Branthos, along with [[Elindale]], [[Lassandra]], [[Manus]], and [[Skywin]] will move to the bridge in front of Last Light Inn, waiting for the party so they can move in to intercept and [[Follow the Convoy|ambush a nearby Absolutist convoy]] in order to acquire their source of protection against the [[Shadow Curse]]. Accepting the mission would have Branthos and his squad of Harpers cast [[Light]] on their weapons, and move in to the [[Ruined Battlefield]], where they'll lay in wait for the [[Absolute|Absolutist]] convoy. The party can either go with the group immediately or catch up with them later, as the ambush site is marked on their map.

If immediately talking to [[Isobel]] and fighting [[Marcus]] after talking with Jaheira, Branthos and his squad would already be on the bridge, out of reach of the battle.

Talking to Branthos at the ambush site will commence the ambush and spawn in the encounter. Once the [[Kar'niss|convoy]] arrives, the player has a choice to attack immediately or hang back. If the party chooses to stay hidden and keep watching, [[Kar'niss]] kills [[Vez|Brawler Vez]], one of the goblins in the convoy. From there, the party can either signal the Harpers or the Harpers will start the encounter themselves. After the fight, on the drider's corpse will be a [[Moonlantern]].

If meeting the Harpers for the first time, Branthos will take the drider's Moonlantern and tell the party to head to Last Light Inn, where they can reacquire the same Moonlantern after speaking with [[Isobel]]. If the party sticks with the convoy, Branthos and his squad will turn hostile, and be killed.

If sided with and alive, Branthos can later be found on the top floor of [[Last Light Inn]], drinking wine with [[Elindale]].

If the party successfully prevented [[Flaming Fist Marcus]] from capturing [[Isobel]] at the [[Last Light Inn]], and once the [[Aylin|Nightsong]] has been freed from her cage and is headed for Moonrise, Branthos will follow [[Jaheira]] to [[Moonrise Towers]]. However, Branthos is killed during the fight against [[Absolute]] forces before the party can arrive. His corpse can be found in the [[Moonrise Towers Prison]], surrounded by a [[Death Shepherd]] and a horde of [[Necromite|Necromites]].
