When playing the first Act of Baldur’s Gate 3you’ll come across a refugee camp of Tieflings led by Zevlor. While they’ll tell you all about their current troubles with Druids and Goblins, they won’t immediately share what happened that made them lose their homes.

Engage them in conversation, and you’ll soon realize that all these Tieflings haven’t been a group for long, and Zevlor leads them because he’s the only one with military experience. But what exactly happened to the Tieflings, and who really is the one that leads them?
Who Is Zevlor?
Zevlor, Elturel Exile by David Rapoza
Zevlor is a Tiefling Paladin, and was a member of the Hellriders of Elturelthe biggest military force of Elturel, and its acting police force. Zevlor wasn’t just another soldier, but a commander among the Hellriders.
Elturel is one of the neighboring cities of Baldur’s Gate.
Just before the events of Baldur’s Gate 3, the city of Elturel was transported to Avernusone of the layers of the Hells. Zevlor and all the Tiefling refugees are from Eltureland were there when the city was taken to the hellish landscape.
Once their city was restored to the Material Plane, the people of Elturel started seeing all the Tieflings with distrustsince they looked so much like the Devils that tormented them. As such, all the Tieflings were cast out of the cityand without nowhere to go, they all looked to Zevlor for guidance.
Their only hope for survival was traveling towards Baldur’s Gatebut the journey would be filled with perils. They end up seeking refuge at the Grove run by Druid Halsinescaping the strangely organized nearby Goblins.
Can You Romance Zevlor?
No, but aiding him is in your best interest. If he manages to survive for the final battle, he can call forth his old comrades, the Hellriders, to help youand he uses his Paladin might to smite your foes.
If you’re looking to recruit Minthara, she’ll task you with slaying all the Tieflings in the Grove, Zevlor included. This means that not only you’ll lose his valuable aid, but you’ll also have to face off against a Paladin in the early stages of your playthrough.
