History
In 1479 DR, Balasar was sent to Luthcheq as member of a diplomatic party sent to assist ambassador Perra. He helped the Brotherhood of the Griffon track down and expose a group of abishai killers disguised as dragonborn. Soon after, the Tymantheran diplomatic delegation was kicked out of Chessenta and Balasar was forced to return to Tymanther.

During the travel back home, a topaz taaldarax (one of the players of Brimstone's xorvintaal) attacked Perra and her delegation, but with the help of Medrash, Khouryn, and his men, the dragonborn were able to drive away the dragon.

Upon arriving in Tymanther he found his native land under attack by ash giants from the Black Ash Plain. Medrash, Balasar and Khouryn led a small unit of Lance Defenders in an expedition to investigate the giants motives, but they were overwhelmed.

Balasar became suspicious of Nala the Platinum Cadre's cleric and decided to infiltrate the order. He was initiated into the order's rites although he didn't fully open himself up to Bahamut's power (which was actually Tiamat's power). Balasar found Nala's secret apartments in the catacombs beneath Djerad Thymar. There he found papers that proved conclusively that she was a priestess of Tiamat. Balasar's accusations led to a duel between Medrash and Patrin, the Cadre's leader, that Medrash won. Nala then fled to the Ash giant citadel of Ashhold. Balasar killed Nala during the final battle between the Tymantherans and the Ash giants.

After the war Balasar became an ally of the Platinum Cadre. Although he didn't shared their beliefs, he saw their cause a worthy one, and decided the help them in whatever way he could.
