Zevlor

Zevlor is the leader of a group of Tiefling Refugees who are traveling to Baldur's Gate after being exiled from their home. He and his fellow tieflings are found hiding within the Emerald Grove.
==Background==
Zevlor was a Commander of the Hellriders of Elturel. After the Fall of Elturel, many people started viewing tieflings with distrust thinking their race were to blame for it. Due to this, Zevlor was forced to leave his position and abandon the city, taking a group of tieflings with him in the hopes for a better life at Baldur's Gate.
==Involvement==
=== Act One ===

After the skirmish, Zevlor requests the party's aid against and the Goblin leaders. He offers as a reward his enchanted gloves, the .
Regardless of how the party deal with the Druid situation, if they side with the tieflings and Zevlor is still alive, he is extremely grateful towards the party. He prepares a surprise party at the Campsite with the rest of the refugees, before leading them to the city. After this, he bids them farewell and wishes to encounter the party again.
Should the party side with and the rest of the goblins instead, he furiously calls the player character a traitor, and takes up arms to defend his people.
If Zevlor dies while siding with refugees, replaces him as the refugees' leader. If Asharak is also dead or otherwise unavailable, replaces Zevlor. In this scenario, Cerys only appears after the Goblin Leaders are defeated.
If travelling to the Rosymorn Monastery Trail or the Shadow-Cursed Lands before resolving Kagha's Rite of Thorns, the tieflings are expelled from the Emerald Grove and Zevlor's corpse can be found among the bodies of all the other refugees near the bridge to the Blighted Village.

Zevlor can later be found in a transformation pod within the Mind Flayer Colony. He can be released by opening all pods, which initiates combat with several Mind Flayers. If Zevlor survives, he tells the party that the Absolute infiltrated his mind, causing him to call out the surrender during the attack on the refugees. He thinks that the other tieflings will not welcome him back and leaves on his own. He can otherwise be purged along with all the mind flayers, killing him.

However, he is one of two major characters who can permanently die during this fight and be removed from the Epilogue, the other being the .
