Kalah

Kalah is a chaotic neutral / chaotic evil gnome illusionist who has put the Circus Tent under his control.
== Background ==
Kalah was hired as the Athkatla circus' illusionist and he was performing onstage when his spell fizzled and the audience started laughing at his ineptitude. This fueled Kalah's anger and somehow he transformed the tent's interior into a palace full of malevolent illusions and evil Shadows. Kalah himself took the appearance of an Ogre Mage and killed most of the spectators and personnel in revenge for laughing at him, leaving only few alive:
* Aerie, who was turned into an ogre
* Hannah, who was turned into a giant spider
* Quayle, who was turned into a mustard jelly
When the party finally reaches the third floor of the tent, he will greet Gorion's Ward and mock Aerie (if she is in the party) by torturing her "Uncle" Quayle. He will then initiate combat, assisted by two shadows and an illusionary werewolf.
Upon defeating him, the illusions cast over the circus tent will fall apart. Kalah will show no remorse for what he has done, cursing Gorion's Ward's party for defeating him in his dying breath. Where he got his powers from will remain unknown (see Mod content for a possible answer for that mystery).

===Mods===
Installation of the Unfinished Business (Baldur's Gate II) mod and the Kalah & What He Was Promised component adds a side quest to this Circus Tent business. 
Sword Coast Stratagems revises Kalah, especially with the "Smarter Mages" componet. The Illusionist gets a mostly different repertoire of memorized spells to use, and also a Minor Sequencer with a double Charm Person spell. Kalah will open up hostilities with the Minor Sequencer at your PC, and instantly protect self with Protection From Normal Missiles, Mirror Image, Armor and Stoneskin.
If the Spell Revisions mod is installed, then Kalah's spells will be the SR versions.
