Jaheira Jaheira was a half - elf , druid , warrior , a member of the Harpers , and a friend of Gorion . She and her husband Khalid , who was later killed , were sent to investigate the iron crisis , and she traveled with Gorion ' s ward during that time and for some time after . The games . Jaheira was born to a noble family in Tethyr during the civil war , and soon orphaned as her parents were killed in it . She was taken in by a community of druids and became one herself , worshiping Silvanus . She grew up to be very headstrong and to believe that the only way to affect things in the world was to take an active role . She joined the Harpers and at some point met and fell in love with Khalid , another half - elf ( and , at least later , Harper ) with a very different temperament to her own . The two married and , in spite of their differences , always cared deeply for each other . Through the Harpers , they were also friends of Gorion and acquainted with such people as Elminster . In 1368 DR , Jaheira and Khalid were sent on behalf of the Harpers to investigate the iron crisis and the Nashkel mines . They were also waiting to meet Gorion at the Friendly Arm Inn for unknown reasons , sleeping in turns so as not to miss him . At this time , Gorion received a letter from Elminster warning him that his adopted child , a Bhaalspawn , was in danger at Candlekeep where they were staying , and urging them to leave . When they did , they were ambushed by Sarevok and Gorion was killed . His child escaped and eventually made his way to the Inn , where he had been told to look for Khalid and Jaheira if something went wrong . The two took it as their responsibility to watch after him , having been appointed him guardian in case Gorion should die . They traveled with Gorion ' s ward for a time , helping them defeat Sarevok . Soon after that , the whole adventuring group was taken captive by Irenicus , and Khalid was killed , leaving Jaheira to cope with her loss and seek revenge . Jaheira , always paired with Khalid , is one of the potential party members in " Baldur ' s Gate " . Though Gorion advices the player character to seek the pair out this is , of course , optional . However , in " " it is assumed that it happened ; the party the player starts out as being supposed to have had consisted of Imoen , Jaheira , Khalid , Minsc and Dynaheir . Jaheira is found in a cage in Irenicus ' s dungeon near the player character ' s one , and can easily be released and added into the party . It is soon found out that Khalid has been killed , which obviously leaves her devastated . Later , she may actually fall for a male player character , though the dynamics there are very different from the novels . Jaheira ' s romance is somewhat complex to complete and requires the completion of some side quests , as well as never removing her from the party . Side quests triggering with Jaheira in the party include one where Baron Ployer , a slaver she brought to justice , puts a curse on her ; and a longer one where she is temporarily disowned by the Harpers for opposing a corrupt one who wanted to benefit from trapping the " dangerous " player character . Finally , Jaheira can naturally be brought into " " along with all the other surviving party members from " Shadows of Amn " . In the first game , Jaheira is mainly shown as blunt , domineering and demanding , with a harsh attitude towards civilization as opposed to nature . In the second , she gains more depth and more positive sides , though mostly without losing the previous characteristics . She has grown to respect the player character ( though this may depend on player actions ) , but still wishes to look after them right until the very end . She also has a fair amount of common sense and wisdom , which is good , because she certainly assumes she has . As a druid , she must observe a keen balance in her way of life , and demands nothing less from her companions . She lags only a little behind single - class characters in terms of fighting and spellcasting ability , though she ' s not truly formidable in either . In Baldur ' s Gate II , Jaheira becomes more powerful . Her druid spells can help her greatly in fighting . For example , she can cast insect plague before landing serious damage on mages , or Ironskin before taking on melee fighters . In Baldur ' s Gate II : Throne of Bhaal , her many deadly combos like Harm + Critical Strike and Fire seeds + Greater Deathblow and etc make her truly formidable . Voice acting . Jaheira is voiced by , sometimes referenced as Hidi Shannon . The novels . Jaheira was a druid and follower of Mielikki and described as a warrior . She did not show much aptitude for coping in nature and did not engage in combat much . She was not very independent and was prone to screaming , often needing Abdel Adrian to help her out in various situations . She met and fell in love with him while still being rather unhappily married to Khalid , who cheated on her . They both knew he was a Bhaalspawn , and she felt guilty for their plans to manipulate him in some unspecified way on behalf of the Harpers . After Adrian was forced to kill Khalid , he and Jaheira spent some time trying not to give in to their obvious mutual attraction out of respect for his memory , a task hampered by things beyond their control such as a spider getting inside her blouse and he being forced to tear it off . She was killed during Adrian ' s conflict with Sarevok , but subsequently resurrected . Some time later , Jaheira got captured by Irenicus along with Adrian and Imoen , and then by the Cowled Wizards along with Irenicus and Imoen , leaving Adrian to find a way to rescue both women . Along the way , he cheated on her with Bodhi , unable to resist the temptation . When Jaheira heard about this , she tried to comfort him by suggesting Bodhi may have used the vampire " Charm " ability on him . She proceeded to follow him along on most of the rest of his quest , until at the end she helped him return from " hell " by shouting his name and digging the ground until his head cropped up , also helping save the Tree of Life at the same time somehow by doing this . Jaheira was killed by Abazigal when Adrian was fighting against the Five . Behind the scenes . In this version , Jaheira ' s hair was black with coppery highlights , an approximate but not accurate description of her portrait in the first game .
