Falaster Fisk
Falaster Fisk is a spy, researcher, and associate of Sylvira Savikas of Candlekeep that generally operated in and around Baldur's Gate.
Shortly before the Damnation of Elturel in 1497, Fisk was sent by Sylvira to Baldur's Gate to investigate Duke Thalamara Vanthampur, following a rumor that Duke Vanthampur was a Zarielite cultist. Sylvira's hunch was proven correct, but Fisk was discovered by the Vanthampur's during his investigation and imprisoned in the basement under the Vanthampur Villa.
He was rescued on the 16th of Eleasis by the Lost Star Detectives, who had conducted their own investigation of Thalamara and had arrived to kill her. Fisk aided the Detectives by providing for them one of the key phrases used by Zarielite cultists: "By Zariel's light we burnl; by Zariel's flame we purge." After the Detectives discovered High Observer Thavius Kreeg of Elturel and the Shield of the Hidden Lord in the Vanthampur basement, killing the former and taking the latter, and retrieved an infernal puzzlebox, Fisk suggested that they return with him to Candlekeep to discuss the role that devils may have played in Elturel's apparent destruction.
The adventurers agreed, and Fisk traveled with them to Candlekeep, surviving an ambush by cambions seeking the Shield of the Hidden Lord along the way. At Candlekeep, Fisk introduced the Detectives to Sylvira and bid them farewell.
