Iolas Dalamin

Appearance
Ilphas described him as looking "just like me" when asked by EFAIN, and was mistaken for Iolas by an old friend of his, so it can be safely assumed the twins bear a great resemblance to each other, despite the party not having met Iolas yet.

Personality
It's not entirely clear what he was like before his death, but stories from his party members in Green Harbor and Iolas himself begin to paint a picture of him. According to Everett, he wielded powerful magic. And though he was a smidgen quiet and very cautious, he had a love for adventure and exploring, and he endeared himself to the party quickly. After his death, he seems to still be in remarkably good spirits, everything considered, which isn't saying very much. Most notably, he seems penitent, and occasionally welcomes for Ilphas to hate him if he feels the need to, to which his brother consistently refuses.

Backstory
Iolas and his brother both grew up together on Cageport, raised by their adoptive mother, Citlali. Growing up, it seems that Iolas was quicker to doubt Vecna's teachings than Ilphas was, which culminated in him leaving home in the middle of the night without a word a few years ago. During his travels he made friends with a little adventuring party. A human named Everett, a halfling named Lorna, and perhaps most notably, a tiefling named Aegis, who he grew especially close to. Together, they would go on to accomplish a great many heroic deeds, such as break into a house and get arrested. hen their travels took them a little too close to Cageport, however, he had a change of heart and pulled what could be called another Iolas special, in which he once again left in the night and came back home. He cites his guilt as another reason for this, telling Ilphas that he felt wrong to run off and enjoy a fling away from home after "what happened to Accord." He'd soon come to regret his homecoming, however, as not far too long after that, Rattlegasp would descend on Cageport, and in fulfilling the conditions of its curse, Iolas's life numbered among the 100 claimed. His soul found its way into his ring of mind shielding, which then came into his brothers possession, where he has remained since.
