![[ReyaMantlemornPathfinder-v2.webp]] # Reya Mantlemorn _Human Hellrider | [[Hellriders]] | [[Baldur's Gate]]_ ## Summary Young [[Hellriders|Hellrider]] who led the party's mission against [[Dead Three]] cultists. She witnessed [[Elturel]]'s fall from outside the walls and helped expose [[Tarquin Belmont]]'s betrayal. Close friend of [[Lulu]] and protégé of [[Hilde Kaas]]. Currently with refugees at [[The Tumbledown]], suspicious that Duke [[Thalamra Vanthampur]] is using the party as pawns. %% ## Now With refugees at [[The Tumbledown]], questioning everything after [[Elturel]]'s fall and driven to return to [[Hilde Kaas]]. She sensed political manipulation when [[Thalamra Vanthampur]] directed the heroes toward [[Nysene Eomane]]. ## Appearance Twenty years old, brown skin, red hair, in well-maintained armor bearing the [[Hellriders]] insignia. Shadows have crept into eyes that used to shine with certainty; she touches her badge when speaking about duty. ## Personality Perfectionist who over-prepares and second-guesses herself, a mother hen who fusses over everyone's needs. Professional but warm, fiercely protective of friends. Wants desperately to believe in something after watching her faith crumble, but hasn't yet learned to trust her own judgment. ## Quote _"Hilde always says preparation prevents poor performance, but... sometimes I wonder if we're preparing for the wrong things."_ ## Connections **[[Hilde Kaas]]** — mentor; she is driven to return to her. **[[Lulu]]** — close friend. **[[Tarquin Belmont]]** — the corrupt [[Hellriders|Hellrider]] she helped expose. ## Background **The Oath:** Trained under [[Hilde Kaas]]. Swore the [[Creed Resolute]] before [[Thavius Kreeg]], sealing her blood in the [[Tome of the Creed Resolute]]. She doesn't know the oath damned her bloodline to [[Zariel]]. **The Fall:** She was outside [[Elturel]] when it fell, watching the [[Companion]] corrupt and the chains drag everything she loved into [[Nine Hells|Hell]]. **The Betrayal:** Discovering [[Tarquin Belmont]]'s corruption shattered her remaining certainties. She urged the party to take him alive, struggling to comprehend how any [[Hellriders|Hellrider]] could violate the [[Creed Resolute]]. ## Stats **Base:** Veteran (MM p.350), more experienced than a typical guard. %%
