Aerie is a lawful good Avariel, a race of winged elves, but because she has lost her wings, the game determined she is an elf. She is a Cleric / Mage, and she was tutored by Quayle, a companion from Baldur's Gate I. She is a potential companion in Baldur's Gate II and a love interest for male player characters. Aerie is found during the subquest Investigate the Circus Tent at Waukeen's Promenade in Athkatla. The illusion spell makes her look like an ogre and she asks the party to free her by giving her the key of her chains, which looks like sword. After freeing her, she will offer to join the party. She has a Quarter Staff, and wears a Traveller's robe when joining the party.
