History

Itzel grew up in a yuan-ti city-state in the jungle of the northern Chultan Peninsula. From a young age, she felt a strong connection to the people’s faith in the Grandfather Serpent, and knew she wanted to dedicate herself to his temple. And so, when she turned eighteen, she started down the path of becoming a guardian of the priesthood. In just two years, she went from an apprentice to a novice member.

When the priests of her city received word that their assistance was needed in a temple in another settlement, Itzel was part of the guard to escort them… but the group never reached their intended destination. They were intercepted by a large band of mercenaries working for Fort Beluarian (a colonial outpost of Baldur’s Gate). The mercenaries attacked Itzel’s party and killed them all but her, whom they spared only because their leader, a fighter named Crawford, decided he was in love.

Crawford brought Itzel back to his estate in Athkatla with him, where she spent nearly ten years as his imprisoned wife. But the day finally came where the opportunity presented itself for her to strike back, Itzel took it, and killed him. The guard found her and arrested her for murder, not willing to listen to her story. She was only saved from execution by being abducted by illithids instead.
