Karlach's story was something I really delved into a lot. I loved it because it was an obscure mystery, and I really wanted to know who was in the right and who is not.

I think she's good and the Tyrites are Zariel Cultists, but I won't go into why.

Bottom line is, I want Karlach as a party member. I'm REALLY hoping we get to have her in the party after the toll house situation if we help her. What I like about her is that she is:

1. A FREAKING DEMON SLAYER. All I can imagine is that she must have been SUPER powerful before the nautiloid tadpoles sucked her powers and put her at level 1. Fighting demons is no joke, and she says she was one of Zariel's champions. Yeah, woman should be tough as nails and then some, and she should be like a She-Hulk muscular lady with tattoos and scars and either bald or a tough looking hairstyle.

2. She SEEMS, at least, to be a no nonsense person. Kiss her butt. She don't care what you think. She'll tell you off and tell you like she sees it.

3. Fearless - well not entirely, but pretty close to fearless. I imagine her getting right up in Lae'zel's face and telling her to go to the Bad Place and Fast and to stop "Nagging like an old person." Or I see her getting up in Minthara's face and being all like, "You don't scare me, $#@$. I've taken down manes scarier than your $#@$."

4. Sincere. Yes, she could be lying and deceiving us, but I don't think she is. I think she's actually one of the most honest people in the game so far. She tells you straight. "I served Zariel. I fought in the Blood War killing demons. I was her champion. I've got crap to take care of in Baldur's Gate, and you don't want to get involved with me. I might put you in danger." Straight forward, blunt and honest.

All I could think of when I was done talking to her was, "Dang! She swears a lot, and is probably one of the most cussing character in the game thus far, but MAN do I like her. I want her as a companion. I feel like I could put her at my back and she'd guard it without me having to worry. I could be wrong and naive, but whatever. Her character, whether truly good or evil, was something I wanted more of in the game - especially since I'm fairly certain we're going to be going up against more fiends in the future. Who would I want to have in my party more than Karlach - THE DEMON SLAYER?

So, I want her in the party, and I want her to look as tough as she seems. Buff, fierce, bad-butt tiefling paladin (assuming paladin) who looks like a bouncer from a bar with tattoos and scars and tough skin and the whole lot. PLEASE don't give us some stereotypical sexy or frilly tough-wannabe tiefling girl who looks like she's trying to act all tough. No. Give me someone who LOOKS like she's faced some seriously evil $#@$ in the Hells.
