Naglatha

Naglatha, alias the Black Flame, was a Red Wizard of Thay residing in Selgaunt in Sembia in 1357 DR.

"Make trade instead of war, how preposterous! We are the laughing stock of Faerûn when we should be the most feared. I hate this game-playing. We should embrace our past and the honest ways… killing, war, and occupation. Instead we hawk magical wares like street vendors."

- Naglatha, the Chief of Foreign Activities of Thay

Description
Naglatha was a young, black-haired woman with a grim face.

Personality
Naglatha quickly rose through the ranks of the Red Wizards thanks to her fanatical zeal and ruthlessness. However, she was loyally devoted to the god Azuth.

Activities
Naglatha kept her devotion to Thay a secret from her associates in Selgaunt. She masqueraded as a merchant with a store that traded in magical items and curios from the South. Her shop was located on Larwaken Lane.

History
Naglatha arrived in Selgaunt early in 1357 DR with a very deep cover; even Alzegund was unaware of her identity as a Red Wizard of Thay. Everyone in the Dragon Reach area thought she was only a merchant with a preference for extravagant tools from south Faerûn. In truth, using the alias "the Black Flame", she was recruiting valorous men to Thay's cause. She always used a black mask in her mission in order to disguise her identity. Once a year she went "to the South" for three months, in truth traveling to Thay to receive new instructions.

Later she rose through the ranks thanks to the "accidental" death of Alzegund in 1364 DR. In 1373 DR, she was involved in a plot by the demon lord Eltab against Szass Tam, but the plan backfired thanks to the intervention of Thazienne Uskevren and Tam promised his vengeance against her.
