Her salvation came when Vanrak Moonstar destroyed her vampire master and reclaimed the lair for Shar. Keresta quickly converted to the worship of the Goddess of the Night and became a lieutenant under Vanrak. When at last Vanrak redeemed himself, she went on to be the main leader of the Dark Army of the Night.

In 1492 DR, Keresta was plotting an attack on the Spires of the Morning or the House of the Moon.
