Looks like Alfira is a companion. I want to hear her viscous mockery.
she's not. any major characters have much more lines that hers.
it's just that we will reencounter tiefling refugees in the shadowland. a lot of them get attacked by the Absolute cultists and taken to the moonrise. some may even die. she's one of the lucky survivors.
Im sory, but i have to disagree here ...
What you said tells us only that Alfira is not Origin character, wich should not even be the question, since she have completely different story that dont originate on Nautiloid at all ...
But she still can be a companion.
Traumatizing experience can push person of their edge ... i for one can totally imagine Alfira saying "THATS ENOUGH" and finaly start fighting back.
