Essius can be first encountered at the [[Last Light Inn]]'s plaza, where can he can be seen chatting with [[Ulthred]] next to the fountain. Whereas Ulthred might at first be skeptical and doubting of the party, Essius will attempt to talk him down and be open to the party's help.

Whereas Ulthred might at first be skeptical and doubting of the party, Essius will attempt to talk him down and be open to the party's help. As Ulthred displays some nervosity at being in the [[Shadow-Cursed Lands]], Essius will tell him that he's seen worse alleys in Baldur's Gate.{{ref|Dialogue with [[Ulthred]]:<br>''"This place gives me the creeps."'' - Ulthred<br>''"Seen alleyways in Baldur's Gate that are plenty worse in their way."'' - Essius<br>''"Yeah?"''<br>''"Heapside narrows at night time?

If the party is rescued by [[Marcus Falgor|Marcus]] but exposes him as a [[True Soul]], Essius will be {{Cond|Surprised}} and join the fight against his summoned [[Crawling Claw|Crawling Claws]].

=== Resolve the Abduction ===
When [[Flaming Fist Marcus]] attacks the inn and attempts to kidnap [[Isobel]] during [[Resolve the Abduction]], Essius will frequently be amongst the Harpers that will avoid being {{Cond|Impaled}}, and will run up to fight with the [[Winged Horror]]s. If the party fails to protect Isobel, he and everyone in Last Light Inn will turn into a {{Cond|Shadow-Cursed Undead}}, save for [[Jaheira]].

* If killed at any point before the [[Infiltrate Moonrise Towers|Assault on Moonrise Towers]], Essius will be replaced by Harper [[Lanni]].
* According to devnotes, Essius is a rather long-lived [[gnome]] and experienced Harper.{{ref|Devnotes:<br>''Default dialogue for the confident and experienced harper when standing guard at the fountain.''<br>''Two guards standing by a fountain, one a long-lived gnome Harper and one a rough-and-ready Flaming Fist human. The Fist is on edge and none too friendly, the Harper is calmer and more forthcoming.''}}
* Essius is the only surviving [[Infiltrate Moonrise Towers|Assault on Moonrise Towers]], non-failsafe Harper that is not able to be called in during [[Confront the Elder Brain]] as part of the {{SAI|Gather Your Allies (Class Action)|Gather Your Allies}} variant {{SAI|Silver Harp Squadron}}, even if all the other remaining Harpers are dead.

** Likewise, Essius does not have the same stat block as [[Antony]], [[Lymn]], or [[Naysa]], nor does he share the [[ranger]] class with them. Instead, Essius seems to be have a non-descript DEX-based melee archetype.
