# Hlaavin _Doppelganger/Mind Flayer Hybrid | [[Unseen]] | [[Waterdeep]]_ ## Summary Terrifying hybrid creature—half doppelganger, half [[Mind Flayer]]—who returned to [[Waterdeep]] decades after being originally exposed by Volothamp Geddarm's grandfather. As mastermind behind the [[Unseen]], orchestrated extensive infiltration of [[Waterdeep]]'s institutions, particularly targeting the [[Harpers]] and [[Masked Lords]]. Kidnapped [[Mirt]] and [[Osah Firesong]], holding them in the [[Unseen]]'s dungeon before escaping to [[Skullport]]. The party killed Hlaavin at Lacer's shop in the Sea Ward, where it had been disguised as Orlando Lacer. Upon death, reverted to its true form—an unsettling amalgamation of both physiologies.
