In 1479 DR , Balasar was sent to Luthcheq as member of a diplomatic party sent to assist ambassador Perra . He helped the Brotherhood of the Griffon track down and expose a group of abishai killers disguised as dragonborn . Soon after , the thymari diplomatic delegation was kicked out of Chessenta and Balasar was forced to return to Tymanther . During the travel back home , a topaz " taaldarax " ( one of the players of Brimstone ' s " xorvintaal " ) attacked Perra and her delegation , but with the help of Medrash , Khouryn , and his men , the dragonborn were able to drive away the dragon . Upon arriving in Tymanther he found his native land under attack by ash giants from the Black Ash Plain . Medrash , Balasar and Khouryn led a small unit of Lance Defenders in an expedition to investigate the giants motives , but they were overwhelmed . As they fled , they encountered members of the Platinum Cadre in an operation to exterminate ash giants , and seeing what the followers of Bahamut were capable of , they joined them until they returned to Djerad Thymar . Balasar became suspicious of Nala , the Platinum Cadre ' s cleric , and decided to infiltrate the order . He was initiated into the order ' s rites although he didn ' t fully open himself up to Bahamut ' s power ( which was actually Tiamat ' s power ) . Balasar was part of the Platinum Cadre forces during Vanquisher Tarhun ' s joint military operation against the giants . Although Nala didn ' t wanted to attack at the same time the other thymari military forces did it , Balasar was able to convince his " brothers - in - arms " to join into the fray . Balasar , Medrash , Nala and Patrin fought toe to toe in order to save Tarhun ' s life . After following Raiann , Balasar found Nala ' s secret apartments in the catacombs beneath Djerad Thymar . Later , he returned to the site with Khouryn and Medrash and discovered an altar to Tiamat , uncovering Nala ' s true role as a priestess of Tiamat . Balasar ' s accusations led to a duel between Medrash and Patrin , the Cadre ' s leader , that Medrash won . Balasar also took part in the operation to laid siege to Ashhold and to kill the green dragon Skuthosiin . During the battle , Balasar killed Nala . As a reward for his deed , he was reassigned to the Lance Defenders and promoted to a high - ranking position . When Khouryn Skulldark returned to Tymanther and warned them about Tchazzar plan ' s to invade the dragonborn nation , Balasar was assigned to a mission to destroy Gestaniius and liberate High Imaskar from her forces , so the Imaskari would lend their aid to the thymari . After killing Gestaniius , Balasar and his friends were sent to Luthcheq to escort ambassador Perra , who wanted to reinstate the diplomatic relations between Tymanther and Chessenta . However , when they reached the city , the Battle of Luthcheq had already began . Balasar took part in the battle . He later went to Dracowyr alongside Medrash , Biri , the Brotherhood of the Griffon and the surviving dragons of the Battle of Luthcheq . Together , they put an end to Brimstone ' s " xorvintaal " . After that , he returned to Tymanther , were he intended to marry Biri , although reluctantly .
