Cespenar is an imp who flies around the Pocket Plane in Throne of Bhaal.
He was originally Bhaal's butler and for a certain price and components, he can improve or fuse items to make them stronger. Although he can't be killed by Gorion's Ward, Cespenar can still be hurt by him if Gorion's Ward becomes a mind flayer through the limited wish or shapechange spells, and attacks Cespenar with the mind flayer’s intelligence drain ability.
Cespenar, Cromwell and Maheer are the only characters in Baldur's Gate II who can create new or improved items.
Gameplay[]
Cespenar can be engaged in dialogue. Cespenar will only speak in any detail or constructively with Gorion's Ward.
Cespenar has neutral allegiance and isn't controlled by the party nor is the imp an ally.
The imp is designed to be mostly invulnerable to death and most damage. There are a few chinks in his invulnerability, but probably not something achieved by accident.
Speaking of accidents, if a hostile action, such as an area of effect spell that can produce damage, or a spell flagged as "Hostile" is directed at or exposes Cespenar to that hostility - then this can make Cespenar turn hostile.
This could be a really bad outcome if the player wishes to upgrade or create new items. So, don't try and hurt the imp, or expose him to hostile spells/actions.
He drops no loot and is worth a mere 15 XP - play smart.
