Hareishan is a female vampire in Athkatla and a loyal member of Bodhi's Vampire Coven.
Involvement[]
Chapters 2 or 3[]
Before Chapter 4, she may appear in any district of the city during a night cycle (midnight to dawn), battling three Shadow Thieves.
Although she appears neutral during this fight, you may attack the vampire for 8,500 XP without getting in trouble with anyone but her. If you choose to simply watch her, she will make short work of her enemies, which you can loot thereafter.
If you encounter her during Chapter 2, she will give you a warning before turning into a bat and escaping after the battle (regardless of whether you've taken on Mae'Var's Guildhall as your stronghold).
If you encounter her during Chapter 3 and you've sided with the Shadow Thieves, she will attack the party.
Hareishan uses a general script that allows her to launch a Vampire Domination innate ability at a single target, after the first two rounds of combat. She also will turn into a bat if helpless, and a gas form cloud when hit points are at zero to flee the battlefield. She can only be struck by +2 or better enchanted weapons.
Chapter 6[]
In Chapter 6, she will be encountered again in Bodhi's Hideout, regardless of whether she was "killed" during the first encounter. Her HP has increased to 115 and several other stats have also changed (see infobox). She has a worse THAC0 and Armor Class, does less crushing damage, but drains 3 experience levels on any hit. She can attempt a Vampire Domination after two rounds of combat are initiated. Additionally, normal weapons can strike her.

Mod content[]
- This section is about unofficial content that is only available via fan-made mods.
The Sword Coast Stratagems mod with the "Improved Vampires" component revises all appearances of Hareishan. See the Vampire article and the "Mod content" section for a discussion of the mod's revisions to vampires (including Hareishan) in the game.
The first version of this vampire (VVHAREIS.CRE) is a level 11/11 Fighter/Thief with 124 HP, STR 19, DEX 19, CON 18. She has 2.5 Attacks per round, THAC0 6 and -3 Armor Class. A default SCS script is assigend allowing Vampire Domination ability every 2 rounds, and attacks with either a level drain or "Blood Drain" temporarily reducing CON by 3. She can only be struck by +3 or better weapons. She can shape change into bat or wolf form, and summon bats, rats or wolves with the "children of the night" ability.
The second version of this vampire (C6HAREI.CRE) is a level 12/12 Fighter/Thief with 160 HP, STR20, DEX 20, CON 19. She has 2.5 attacks per round, THAC0 4 and -3 Armor Class. Her melee strike drains 3 experience levels or 3 CON. She also has a different default script, making her akin to an ancient vampire, that has all the abilities of the former version plus the innate Vampire Fear ability and the "Mesmerize" feeblemindedness attack. She will recognize opponents protected from level drain and charm and many other "buffs" for intelligent targeting.
