Mor was once a mortal archmage who feared death. He believes the Codex can make him a living vessel of the Void Beyond, granting him immortality and godlike power. He is willing to sacrifice all of Highwatch to achieve this.

Arrogant, theatrical, and utterly convinced of his own destiny. He speaks in reverse sometimes and enjoys monologuing about the Void's beauty. He is cruel to his followers but genuinely believes he is saving them from mortality.

Mor begins combat by casting dominate person on the party's spellcaster, ordering them to read the Codex. He uses void powers to push characters toward the rift and summons flayed zealots to protect him. If reduced below half hit points, he retreats to the throne and activates the vessel ritual, forcing the party to interrupt him.

Mor cannot be redeemed. If defeated, his soul is drawn into the Codex, and he becomes a whispering voice within it. The only way to truly end him is to destroy the Codex.

Nira was saved from a flaying ritual by Mor and is fanatically loyal to him. She believes that serving the Void is the only way to avoid being consumed by it. She wants to prove herself worthy of becoming Mor's first flayed apostle.

Sadistic, patient, and utterly fearless. She speaks in a low rasp and enjoys psychological torment. She never forgets a slight and will hunt the party across the campaign.

Nira uses void-touched spells to frighten and restrain key targets. She focuses on capturing Elara or the party's spellcaster. If reduced below half hit points, she flees using misty step or a hidden passage, preferring to fight another day.

Nira is beyond redemption. If killed, her body dissolves into black feathers. If she escapes, she returns in Act III as a half-transformed flayed thing in the Hall of Mirrors.

Vela is a former physician who lost her family to a plague. She believes the Void can erase suffering by erasing individuality. She stitches eyes shut to harvest psychic energy for the Codex, hoping to create a world without pain.

Soft-spoken, maternal, and utterly detached from the horror she inflicts. She hums lullabies while performing surgeries and genuinely believes she is helping her patients.

Vela tries to charm or restrain intruders. She uses her guards as shields and calls for reinforcements if reduced below half hit points. She will not flee unless the Solar Sigil is taken, in which case she retreats to the Choir's Fane.

Vela can be redeemed if the party shows her the suffering she has caused and succeeds on a DC 18 Charisma (Persuasion) check. Otherwise, she fights to the death, whispering that the Void will forgive her.
