Jarlaxle

Jarlaxle is a drow mercernary and leader of the Bregan D'aerthe mercenary company. He is (sometimes) an ally of House Baenre. Although you can see on several occasions that his band's services are available to the highest bidder or to who suits him. Obviously House Baenre is the biggest house and so has the deepest coffers. He is one of a small number of male drow who actually have some power over a Lolth worshipping city.

Recently he has begun an adventuring career with Artemis Entreri working in the Bloodstone Lands. He stays in regular contact with his lieutenant Kimmuriel Oblodra although he does not take an active role in leading his mercenaries any more.

It was discovered in the book Servant of the Shard that Jarlaxle is in fact a Baenre. Although it is not known who his mother was. Altough it is pretty certain that it's not Triel, it is unsure wheither or not he was the brother of Triel's mother or her son.
