Belari is a WoodElf outcast introducing himself as a Drow from the underdark. He has 'hired' the Crew to retrieve the "Sunstone" which was apparently somewhere in the Thranbuldor Valley.

Belari claims to be a member of a prestigious clan of the Underdark and this Sunstone would give him and his family a considerable advantage, as it can store and release sunlight. As Drows are sensitive to sunlight, this could be repurposed as a weapon of mass destruction.

Belari meets the crew at first when they leave Tharnbuldor to head for their ship and asks for their help. Oratos Orof draws up a contract that grants the Crew an alliance with Belari's family. What the Crew failed to do, was firstly ask Belari for his family name and secondly add any penalties to this contract, should Belari not honour this alliance.

He is generally mistrusting of everybody and thinks very highly of himself. Due to the Drows' sensitivity to sunlight, he pretends to be not very fond of the 'upper world'. After the Crew has retrieved this Sunstone (see "The Stealth Mission"), he leaves back to the Underdark.

Belari is met again in a tavern together with Khela. He fails to produce an explanation why the Sunstone help his alleged clan/house and asks to rejoin the Crew. He participates in several adventures from "A new friend" up to "The ass-kicking from Hell" at which point he dies.

During his stay at the ship, he feels uneasy when the undead crew is around. He is particularly terrified by the monkey Rafiki, which likes to scare him whenever an occasion arises - and the Crew happily joins. Belari is very fond of the dishes served by Rashesh. He carries an excessive amounts of the rations in his quiver, much to his Crew's disgust.

His death is generally attributed to his poor understanding what caves look like. He lost his life failing to hide from an ice cone spell behind a non-existing cave entrance wall.
