A high-ranked Drow sorceress, she's making a play to take over the Underdark and more since she found a way to bind an Archdevil to her control.

[[WMG:The Reaper]]
A mysterious cloaked entity that oversees a pocket universe, he teleports the player there in ''Hordes of the Underdark'' whenever they near death and revives them. [[spoiler:Actually a forced servant to Mephistopheles, who controls him via his True Name.]]

* BlackCloak
* TrueNeutral: [[spoiler:It's implied he doesn't want to serve Mephistopheles, but he has no choice due to the devil's knowledge of his True Name--that said, he doesn't indicate if he likes it or not. Once the player learns his True Name he grants them passage out of Cania with the same indifference.]]




to:

A devil roped into serving the Valsharess and is a source of power and knowledge for her. [[spoiler:Actually one of the Archdukes of Hell and ruler of the Eighth Circle, he tricks the Valsharess into believing the player will destroy her, then uses his control over the Reaper and connection to the player to release himself from his servitude to be free to take over the world and become the most powerful Archdevil alive.]]

* SelfFulfillingProphecy: [[spoiler:The entire reason he told the Valsharess the player would be the one to defeat her was to further events that would lead to their confrontation.]]

[[WMG:Enserric]]
The spirit of an ancient and powerful mage, he was a former adventurer into the Underdark that got killed and sealed into a sword. The player has the option to free him from his new undead owner, and he provides a fairly potent weapon, as well as lots of helpful and not-so-helpful commentary on your adventure.

*AbortedArc: At one point you can ask if there's a way to free him, and he mentions that since his original body is probably long gone, you could find a soulless body for him, or something like a golem or similar construct. You can animate such a golem as a henchman in Chapter 2, but there's no way to transfer Enserric's spirit to it. The developers had the idea to make this possible, but they had it too late in development to implement it in the game.
*CallingYourAttacks: He'll do so for you, [[TheDevTeamThinksOfEverything adjusting his lines appropriately for different enemies]] and commenting on their "taste". Apparently he likes the taste of elves, undead not so much.
*CoolSword
*DeadpanSnarker: Oh dear ''god'', you have no idea. "You want advice? Here's some advice - don't ask a sword for advice."
*EmpathicWeapon
*LifeDrain: After Chapter I you can open a dialogue option that ends with him being able to temporarily drain part of your spirit to empower the blade, allowing you to take temporary Constitution penalties to increase the enchantments on it.
*MorphWeapon: His default form is a Longsword, but if you don't like that he can change into a Dagger, Greatsword or Shortsword.
*SnarkyNonHumanSideKick
*UrbanLegendOfZelda: Many on potential ways to free his spirit, most involving the Golems in Chaoter II.
*WildMassGuessing: In-universe. Enserric wonders, due to the fact he's fading and can't remember a lot about his life, if he's really Enserric, or if his companions revived his human body and the Enserric in the sword is a shade of the real Enserric who continued on with his life unaware of what became of the sword and vice-versa.
