Rielev, a creature within a glass "jar", in which is a bubbling preservative liquid. It speaks into your mind when you are nearby - PPE Mod portrait
Rielev is a tormented being found contained within a glass tank to keep him 'alive' in Irenicus's dungeon in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn.
Background[]
Rielev's past is something of a mystery, as his mind is so fractured and tormented that he can barely remember who or what he was before he came to be in his current state. Said current state, however, is another mystery.
It is not clear (even to Rielev) whether or not he is alive, dead or even undead, with Rielev himself stating "I was dying... or dead, I cannot remember", claiming that he was a "faithful hound to the master. A friend, even," though he has now been forgotten in lieu of Irenicus' new line of research.
