:: '''Adalon'''
A silver dragon, tasked by the elven god Correlon Larethian himself to guard one of the entrances to the Underdark and the temple that sits on top of it from invasions by the drow. However, the drow stole her eggs and threatened to destroy them if she left her lair. (Though they intended to destroy them anyway by making them a sacrifice to a demon lord.) When the party finds her lair, she gives them a quest to infiltrate the nearby drow city and retrieve her eggs. This quest alone makes up about 3/4 of the content of chapter 5 and it has ties to nearly every other quest available in the Underdark.
* BreathWeapon: As all dragons have.
* CurbStompBattle: At the resolution of her quest, she briefly joins the party to escort them out of the Underdark. The drow guards near the exit don't live very long. Also, if Jaheira is in the party, she expresses regret that [[BigBad Irenicus]] didn't piss Adalon off, because their problem would have been solved nicely if the silver had curb-stomped him.
* GoodIsNotNice: Understandably, as she is quite stressed out at the loss of her eggs and the realization that her task of keeping the peace is all but impossible.
* OurDragonsAreDifferent: Silver dragon.
* ScrewThisImOuttaHere: Realizing that her task of keeping the peace is all but impossible, she decides to leave after she has taken vengeance on the drow.

:: '''Melissan The Red'''
-->''No! Put down your weapons, this is not neccessary!''
--> '''Voiced by:''' Heidi Shannon
A mage with a self-proclaimed 'interest' in the Bhaalspawn, Melissan has spent several years wandering Tethyr and the southern lands. She's apparently been shepherding the southern Bhaalspawn and helping them come into their own. She plays a fairly major role as the mentor/main questgiver of ''Throne of Bhaal'', and guides you in defeating the FiveBadBand that has united to kill all their lesser siblings. [[spoiler:She's also the game's BigBad in disguise, but she's got a listing on the villain page for tropes involving her true colours.]]
Associated Tropes:
* ActualPacifist: Usually espouses peaceful solutions to conflicts and gets rather resigned over the concept of CHARNAME having to solve all your mutual problems with violence.
* TheChick
* DroppedABridgeOnHer: Balthazar apparently kills her halfway through the game. [[spoiler:He failed, given she is the BigBad and all.]]
* {{Mentor}}
* RedHeadedHero
* TooDumbToLive: So, you found a bunch of Bhaalspawn, and figured there's safety in numbers. Ok, fair enough. You then decide to bring them all to a walled-in city to protect them... Apparently forgetting that one of The Five ''is a fire giant with a massive army at his beck and call''. Not the cleverest tactical idea right there.
