Jarlaxle Baenre
Character from Icewind Dale by R.A. Salvatore / Wizards of the Coast / Black Isle Studios
Drow mercenary prince who turned being houseless into an empire — a showman whose dazzling charm conceals the most dangerous intelligence network in the Underdark.
Also known as: Jarlaxle, Jarlaxle Baenre, The Mercenary, Leader of Bregan D'aerthe
What They Know
- Controls Bregan D'aerthe — the largest independent mercenary network in the Underdark, with cells in every major drow city and several surface ports.
- Born a secret son of Matron Mother Baenre — knows the internal politics, defenses, and secrets of the most powerful house in Menzoberranzan.
- Carries dozens of magical items at all times: wands, dimensional pockets, illusion devices, escape tools — always has a contingency.
- Maintains intelligence contacts across the Sword Coast surface cities, giving him knowledge networks that rival any kingdom's spy service.
- Understands the political dynamics between every noble house in Menzoberranzan and can predict power shifts before they happen.
- Knows Entreri's psychological vulnerabilities better than the assassin knows them himself — and carefully never exploits them, which is its own kind of leverage.
- His eyepatch, hat, and cloak are all powerful magical items with defensive properties — attacking him while 'unarmed' is a fatal mistake.
