Casavir Casavir , also known as Katalmach was a paladin of Tyr who participated in the Shadow War as a companion to the Kalach - Cha . Description . Middle - aged , Casavir was a well - built and dignified human with a handsome physique and sophisticated aura . Black haired and blue eyed , Casavir would have been a powerful figure to behold were it not for the resigned expression that so often crossed his face . Dour and serious , Casavir was rarely exuberant but instead measured and calm in both verbal and body language . Casavir was often dressed in full plate armor and his weapon of choice when the Kalach - Cha encountered him was a large warhammer , paired with a shield . Personality . Virtuous by just about any measure , Casavir took his duties as a paladin very seriously . Adhering to his code by the letter , Casavir held himselves to very high standards , standards that he himself , in spite of his constant vigilance against evil or temptation , often failed to meet . His high standards were likely in part due to his past , which involved his self - exile from Neverwinter and his estrangement from a lost love . Because of these personal failures and past mistakes , Casavir took it upon himself to fight injustice at all times , even to points that were sometimes unwise or overly brash , such as his crusade at Old Owl Well . This attitude put him at odds with the openly selfish and pragmatic Bishop , whose cruelty and evil ways disturbed the paladin as much as Casavir ' s refinement put Bishop at unease . Casavir would also cause the tiefling Neeshka no small amount of discomfort , though the paladin seems to himself have held no grudge against her . History . Details on Casavir ' s early life are sparse , though it is presumed he was a native Neverwintan . At some point in his life , Casavir took up arms in the service of Neverwinter , the Jewel of the North . A noble either by birth or by virtue , Casavir served honorably as a knight alongside Callum , a dwarf who would later take on the mantle of the Neverwinter Nine . However , due to certain circumstances , Casavir would later leave Neverwinter in disgrace . The precise reasons were never revealed to the Kalach - Cha , though Bishop speculated it was because of a woman . Many within Neverwinter would view Casavir ' s departure as treacherous and Casavir himself would look with shame upon the incident in later years . Campaign at Old Owl Well . After his exile from Neverwinter , Casavir would wander southwards to the outpost of Old Owl Well . There , he would discover the increasing strength and organization of orc ish raids upon the settlement , a phenomenon he would later determine was due to increasing unification of the mountain tribes . Determined to prevent the outpost from falling into enemy hands and the settlers from being massacred , Casavir , determining that aid from Neverwinter was unlikely , took upon the job of defending Old Owl Well for himself , believing that one man could make a difference . For the next few years Casavir would carry out numerous guerrilla strikes against the orcs , first on his own and later with the help of several warriors and mercenaries , including his sergeant Katriona . So successful were these raids that the orcs would come to fear Casavir and his men , nicknaming him " katalmach " , a title describing orcs who lose control of themselves in battle . Eventually , Casavir would learn that the orcish chieftain Logram Eyegouger was behind the attacks and would plan his attacks appropriately . Though at first Casavir ' s campaign received little to no aid from Neverwinter , the orcs would draw the city ' s attention when an ambassador from Waterdeep disappeared as a part of a plot by Black Garius and other allies of the King of Shadows . Determining the orcs of the Sword Mountains might have something to do with it , Neverwinter chose to investigate the matter and sent an expedition . Incidentally , this expedition was led by Callum though it would be quite awhile before either Casavir or Callum became aware of the other ' s part in the campaign . The Shadow War . The aid sent to Old Owl Well by Neverwinter would include a hero known as the Kalach - Cha . As successful if not more so than Casavir had been initially , the Kalach - Cha attracted the paladin ' s attention shortly after destroying one of the orcish encampments . As the hero returned to Old Owl Well , they were ambushed by a group of Logram ' s warriors and it was then that Casavir made his appearance , counter - ambushing the orcs and lending aid to the Kalach - Cha that ultimately allowed the orcs to be defeated . Impressed with the Kalach - Cha ' s work , Casavir offered himself as an ally and loyal soldier , which the Kalach - Cha expressed . Although initially the two joined together only to defeat Logram , after the orc chieftain ' s defeat the paladin chose to stay with the Kalach - Cha . Promoting Katriona to take his place , Casavir would leave Old Owl Well and return to Neverwinter , this time as the Kalach - Cha ' s ally and companion . There he would hope to make up for his past failures and would prove an important part of the quest , lending an aiding hand in many of the major portions of the Kalach - Cha ' s quest and potentially becoming close to the hero . Casavir would later join the Kalach - Cha and their other companions in the attack on the King of Shadows fortress within the Vale . During the collapse of the ruins following the King ' s defeat , Ammon Jerro would later claim that he saw Casavir crushed beneath a pillar as he held it up so that his fellow survivors could escape . However , while Casavir would indeed be gravely injured by the pillar , he was not killed . Instead , he was found by Luskan ' s agents , captured , and brought to the City of Sails in chains . There he was evidently tried for murder and imprisoned .
