Lae'zel is depicted as xenophobic, arrogant, and quick to anger. She is proud of her race, and frequently makes comments to the party detailing githyanki customs and the nature of her people. Lae'zel was a githyanki soldier from crèche K'liir who was unwaveringly loyal to Vlaakith CLVII, the god-queen of her people. After suffering an attack from mind flayers in the late 15th century DR, she embarked on a quest to reunite with her people on the continent of Faerûn on Toril.
