Mirror Mirror was a ghost that manifested in the Sunrise Mountains in Thay . Appearance . Mirror was usually perceived as a phosphorescence floating through the air , which sometimes assumed a manlike shape and could momentarily take on the semblance of a nearby person or sculpture . During the years he spent at Bareris Anskuld ' s side , he apparently remembered more of his past and sometimes showed a wavering semblance of what had been his own living face : a lean visage with a big hooked nose and a drooping mustache . He even began to speak occasionally . Combat . Mirror was once a master swordsman and at most times carried the semblance of a sword in his hand . He could not be hurt by normal weapons or even most magical attacks . Sometimes , he wore something resembling a round shield or targe affixed to his free forearm . Unlike other undead creatures , Mirror seemed to be unaffected or harmed by sunlight . Abilities . When Mirror remembered that he once was a knight bestowed with god - given powers , he was able use these powers though they seemed to be a drain on his very substance . On the first occasion , he cured Aoth Fezim ' s spellplague - affected sight . During another desperate situation , he summoned a radiance like " daylight " from his sword , driving away other undead beings . Sometimes he is refereed to a being a paradox of light and dark and there fore healing him might upset the balance , and there fore it is best to let him heal him self . The healing seams to come naturally as he remembers more of what is left of his self . Like other ghosts and phantasms he has the power of flight . History . Mirror was once a brave and accomplished warrior , though as a ghost he forgot his name and face . In his lifetime , Mirror fell victim to the power of the wizard Fastrin the Delver , who destroyed his people and the kingdom they lived in . Mirror rose again as a ghost . He existed in this state for centuries . On the 7 of Kythorn in 1375 DR the bard Bareris Anskuld stumbled into his domain , Mirror helped him fend off his undead pursuers and stayed with him from thereon . His former companion , Quickstrike , explained to Bareris that Mirror would need something to reflect , to fill and define him . During the time spent with Bareris , Mirror began to sense that he was a soldier who had fought many times . On the 14 ' th of Kythorn of the same year at the fight of Thazar Keep , he slayed Ysval ' s companion Shex and helped in the defeat of the Nighthaunt himself . As the war went on Mirror sought to sometimes counsel his friends in chivalry in order to bring them closer to do good , this sometimes brought comments from his companions such as : " there isn ' t any brotherhood , you ' re getting it confused with something from your own time ! " After around a hundred years with Baris , Mirrior started to speak more . and seams to be able to use more of his divine powers yet the gods name still remained a mystery to all . He even went so far as to consider his devotion and power to keep the great Szass Tam from being able to control him despite his undeath . In the battle of the Rebel Zulkirs against Szass Tam after the death of Springhill , Mirror attacked Szass Tam , impaling the lich with his sword and channeling the power of his deity as a previous not shown degree . The amount of power released even harmed Baris on the other side of the lich whom also attacked the lich , in the end the power released from him proved fatal to him as he disapeared with the radiant light . After that Szass said " He ' s gone to his god , you go to your woman " before killing Anskuld . Background . During the time he spent with Bareris , Mirror sometimes journeyed to his inner self , remembering bits of his past . On such a " journey " he saw himself in a torch - lit hall with a huge round table in its center . Around it high - backed chairs were positioned , each seat inlaid with a name and a coat of arms , though Mirror couldn ' t recognize his own . In that hall , a statue was positioned made of solid gold , adorned with rubies , and showing a handsome , smiling man brandishing a mace in one hand and cradling an orb in the other . Mirror was kneeling before the sacred image . Though he couldn ' t remember the name of his god , Mirror remembers being a knight blessed by his god with special gifts , much like a paladin . He remembered that in life he could help the sick even when the wisest priests had failed .
