Minthara
Baenre the Paladin

Born into the ancient House Baenre of Menzoberranzan, Minthara was raised as a noble and lived most of her life in Qu'ellarz'orl, a plateau above the city expanse. The life of a Baenre noblewoman comes with many luxuries, but also countless dangers. Minthara survived her first assassination attempt when she was a newborn thanks to her mother, but when she came of age, it the same hands that once shielded her would attempt for her life.

Estimated to be over 200 years old, Minthara has lived through and survived the many treachery of the Lolthite Menzoberranyr life. A product of her upbringing, she is deeply paranoid, perceptive, ambitious, cautious and ruthless. A woman that one should not make an enemy of.

But look further beneath the hard exterior of a seasoned drow commander, one might find a woman who simply yearns for a home, a place to belong, and utterly loyal to those she trusts.

Menzoberranzan

Sometimes around 1492 D.R., Minthara led a retinue of Baenre soldiers - finest that her house could offer, on a raid against Moonrise Towers and the cult of the Absolute. Unfortunately, she’d fell right into their trap: all along, this was part of General Thorm’s ploy, then with Orin the Red’s unexpected interference, Minthara sees her men either slaughtered or thralled, and she herself became brainwashed into servitude of the cult.

A victim, but to Lolth, a failure. Her goddess turns away from her.

Prayers left unheard.

Minthara could be rescued at Moonrise Towers. With the use of the artefact, she could regain clarity and recounts the horror the cult of the Absolute has inflicted upon her.

She then became a loyal ally to the player character, sworn vengeance against the cult of the Absolute, and especially, Orin the Red.

Fate

Alas, it isn’t easy to tell a drow woman doing evil is not doing it out of her own free will.

Many would’ve slain Minthara at the Goblin Camp, thinking her being yet just another Absolute cultist. Choosing to not rescue her at Moonrise will result in Minthara being mind wiped into an obedient servant of the Absolute.
