Vel

Vel is a dark skinned female half-elf working in an organisation seeking to collect forbidden evil lore so that it may be contained. She is extremely intelligent and prideful, with exceptional magical talent far beyond an ordinary wizard. She possess a book of great power capable of performing great feats... at a price. She has doomed her soul to be destroyed when she dies, in exchange she can change the location of objects and creatures at will and create objects that an illusion spell would normally be able to conjure, and make them reality, provided she can see the item or creature she is trying to modify. Despite these abilities she is already known to be a proficient Illusion wizard (Having thus far not cast a single spell capable of inflicting damage) and to have the blessing of a Metallic Dragon.

Contracts
Vel has offered two contracts on the recovery of two powerful books, as seen below.

Zariel's Great Mercy: A fiendish tome capable of summoning legions from Hell. The book was recovered successfully the Pandemonium, a library constructed by Devil worshippers. Vel took the book and paid upon the quest's completion. Seen in the quest Pandemonium.

A Thesis on Life & Unlife: A book written by the ruler of Thay prior to their Lichdom. The book contains information on all necromancy spells and countless necromancy rituals, though only a discerning mind can break through and understand the supreme codes used to conceal the book's information. The party in charge of recovering the book double crossed Vel, almost leading to blows though their deception was successful... barely. Seen in the quest Plausible Deniability.
