Havilar was a tiefling fighter who grew up in the small village of Arush Vayem on the frontier of Tymanther. As an infant, Havilar and her twin sister Farideh were left in a basket at the village gate and were adopted by a clanless dragonborn warrior named Mehen. In 1477 DR Havilar was in a barn attempting to summon an imp when she accidentally summoned a cambion from Malbolge named Lorcan. Her twin Farideh was tricked by Lorcan into entering a warlock pact. When Lorcan returned to his home plane he caused an explosion which leveled the barn and resulted in Havilar, Farideh and Mehen’s expulsion from the village.
