A brief dive into: Amelyssan/melissan the blackhearted. Mr.Bhaal's priestess.
This lady right here was the most calculating priestess of bhaal.
She took on the form of a fair, demure woman of plain appearance.
She was really a two faced bitch.
She held a high opinion of herself.
Amelyssan was capable of pretending her greatest desire was to help other people.
In reality she was a psychotic and an irredeemably evil twat.
She served as a deathstalker.
In the years following bhaal's death, she catfished people into thinking she was one of bhaal's children.
She was powerful in both divine and arcane magic, spellcasting that was only increased in power with more bhaalspawn essences she consumed.
Having seen his own death, bhaal came to toril, years before the event and impregnated mortal women of different races. Creating the infamous bhaalspawns.
Their purpose was to eliminate each other, so his highness could return.
Amelyssan's job was to perform rituals that would complete bhaals return.
Guess what she did?.
She sought to gather the power as her own and become a goddess herself. Miss delulu over here.
After bhaal's death, she changed her name to melissan, pretending to be a benefactor who took pity on the bhaalspawns, but was secretly plotting against them.
So when they kill each other, she'll suck their essence out of them.
In order to do that she gathered the remaining bhaalspawns and created the five, promising them powers of demigods when bhaal was resurrected.
Long story short, she was defeated, and the divine essence was stripped and presented to the surviving bhaalspawn (gorion's ward) to do what they wished with it.
