Sarevok, in the guise of Koveras, is found on the second floor of the Candlekeep Library during the events of Chapter Six. This is the second time that Gorion's Ward has an encounter with his Bhaalspawn sibling, even though the Ward is completely unaware of who this individual is or what his relationship to the Ward is.
Before actually having an encounter with Koveras, several people that Gorion's Ward may run into while exploring the library will speak of Koveras and his curious mannerisms. Both Bendalis and Karan will offer some comment on their own encounters with Koveras. A Priest of Oghma will be enamored by his knowledge of the prophecies of the great Alaundo and Rieltar will reveal that Koveras is his son. And Tethtoril will hip the Ward to the fact that Koveras is Sarevok spelled backwards.
| “ | Strange? Why yes, that is just the word I would have used for that Koveras fellow. He was right here beside me, taking Alaundo's prophecies from their place on the shelf and reading them. I could hear his voice, recognize the Seer's words upon his quiet voice, but when I turned to steal a glance at him from the corner of my eye, it was the strangest thing—his eyes were closed and he was reciting it, page after page, by memory! He heard your footsteps, it seems, and wandered off... I was just returning the prophecies to their rightful place here. It might be wise to take a look. Wait here then while I talk with the Watchers. | ” |

The Encounter[]
When Gorion's Ward reaches the second floor of the library and enters Koveras's line of sight, he will approach the Ward and initiate dialogue. Depending upon which dialogue line you follow, Koveras will either walk away or he'll offer the Ward a magic ring that Gorion supposedly gave to him in the event that evil should befall Gorion.
| “ | You are looking for the truth, as are we all... My name is Koveras. I used to work for your father, running messages to his Harper friends in Waterdeep. Before he passed on, he entrusted this ring to me and asked that I give it to you should evil ever befall him... Will you take it? | ” |
Koveras will also drop the hint that the two members of the Iron Throne currently visiting Candlekeep are quite vulnerable and it would be easy to kill them.
| “ | Wear it with your father's pride about you, then. Before you go, listen to me well. The leaders of the Iron Throne are here in the keep even as we speak. They are at their weakest and most unprotected... if you ever hope to kill them, now is the time. Now go, the Iron Throne awaits you. | ” |
After the Ward is accused of the murder of Rieltar and Brunos (whether you actually did the deed or not) and brought to the jail in the Barracks, Ulraunt will mention the Koveras came forward with information that could tie the Ward to their deaths.
| “ | Why have I accused you? You were seen fleeing the murder scene. Koveras found the identifying ring of a Shadow Thief assassin in your personal effects, and gold minted in Amn. I feel that it is strong enough proof to accuse you. | ” |

When the party reaches the exit from the Catacombs to the outside world, a human named Diarmid will be found standing near the exit point within the catacombs. He will provide some interesting information about Koveras depending on which dialogue line you follow.
| “ | This Sarevok person, who is he supposed to be again? — Gorion's Ward Who is...? Did he identify himself to you while in his monk disguise? Koveras will be whom you met then. Not a terribly original alias to be sure, but who is going to tell him that? Sarevok is quite used to getting his own way, and I gather subtlety is something that doesn't quite come naturally to him. He doesn't have the patience for it, though his mind is amazingly tactical. Certainly this made him perfect for organizing the Iron Throne's mercenary forces, though I doubt his superiors would say so now, what with his plot to have them killed. Such is the trouble with hiring highly motivated people. As underlings we can safely serve, but woe to those in a position he desires. We should get going. |
