Just one more:
Jhalvin Melarn is a character I played in EA but haven't done a full run with yet.
He is a Lolth-sworn beast master ranger (with pet spiders of course), and before being kidnapped he was a member of the Dread Fangs of Halisstra, an elite group of warriors who protect the priestesses of House Melarn in Menzoberranzan. (Unlike some forum members who have in-depth knowledge of the Forgotten Realms, my knowledge comes from a few computer games including the BG series and reading the odd novel and comic, so I find the Forgotten Realms wiki really useful in helping me develop characters with connection to the lore.)
Jhalvin was loyal to his house and Lolth in the recent civil war in Menzoberranzan, but is, to put it mildly, somewhat conflicted and has a deep yet unacknowledged hatred of Lolth, her priestesses, and probably women in general, bubbling just under the surface. There's also a messed up backstory with a lover he's never got over who was turned into a drider.
The part of his job that Jhalvin most relishes is hunting down and killing apostate priestesses, and he and a group of his fellows had been tasked by his matron mother to investigate a number of desertions and rumours of a new goddess called the Absolute who was stealing Lolth's faithful. They were following a lead that took them to the surface and were getting close when they found themselves ambushed and next thing he knew Jhalvin was having a mindflayer parasite inserted into his eye.
