At a Glance

Halaster is a wizard— the infamous Mad Mage of Undermountain, though he may be encountered anywhere in the Realms.  Most of his still-living apprentices live in Undermountain as well, including Arcturia, Muiral, Nandel Greenward, and Trobriand.  Another one-time apprentice, Jhesiyra Kestellharp, left Undermountain in the early days and later became the Magister.

It’s believed that his name was once Hilather.
