Source: Dreams of the Red Wizards (AD&D), circa 1357 DR
Note from The Thayan: Since this sourcebook is 2nd edition (AD&D), stats are not in 3rd edition format
Note from The Thayan: Naglatha is one of the primary antagonists in the novel 'Crimson Gold'. She and her bodyguards have significant roles in that novel. I recommend you read 'Crimson Gold' if you would like to use this character in a long-term campaign.
5th level magic-user, Red Wizard of Thay
NE, Azuth
Human Female
This young, black-eyed, black-haired, grim-faced woman has risen quickly in the ranks of the Red Wizards due to her fanatical zeal for all Red Wizard causes, and her ruthless, reckless, furthering of them. Naglatha's allegiance and identity are not known to any authorities in the Dragonreach area; recently arrived in Selgaunt, she is posing as a merchant dealing in curios and rarities of the South-while in reality recruiting merchants and men-at-arms for the Red Wizards' cause; it is likely the Red Wizards are planning disruptive raids to set one power against another, if it seems likely that any of them would aid or reinforce any lands Thay is at war with.
Even Alzegund is unaware of Naglatha's position with the Red Wizards, though he has benefited from her recruiting. All he knows is that there is a recruiter called "The Black Flame" who is bringing people into his caravans. Naglatha recruits while wearing a black full-face mask embroidered with red flame designs, and none of her recruiting subjects have seen her face - at least while she is recruiting them. Of course, she uses her identity as a merchant to size-up possible recruits before she approaches them as the Black Flame.
Naglatha has two bodyguards who are supposed to be eunuchs from the land of Mulhorand. Actually, they are Thayan fighters who have not been turned into eunuchs at all, but it is convenient to have them act as eunuchs in public. Therefore, they are fatter and more clean-shaven than normal for bodyguards, and they tend to wear rich clothes and jewelry.
Naglatha operates a small curio shop in the Sembian city of Selgaunt. She leaves "for the South" once a year and is gone for about 3 months, while she reports to her masters in Thay. One of the eunuchs remains in charge of the shop while the other accompanies her.
One of the eunuchs who originally accompanied her to the area about three years ago was killed in an accident about one year ago. When she came back "from the South", next, she had a new eunuch.
The veteran eunuch is Milos Longreach, a 4th level fighter with ST 16 and bracers of defense (AC 4). He uses a massive scimitar which actually acts in all ways as a bastard sword.
The new "eunuch" is a 3rd level thief (he came recommended as a fighter, but his skills and attitude are those of a thief) named Heraclos the Quick who is not at all comfortable in his role. He is a veteran carouser who is constantly scheming to get away from the shop and get in some drinking (among other things). Naglatha has detected this tendency and keeps an eye on him, but he has still managed to get away a few times. His predilection for gallivanting may yet expose his mistress's machinations.
Naglatha is a member of both the School of Illusion and the School of Divination, and has a full complement of spells appropriate to the 5th level for each school.

Naglatha is, as far as the rest of Faerûn knows, a highly successful Selgauntan merchant and trader in curios and antiques. In reality she is one of the Red Wizards. Best hidden agents and the leader of most covert operations since the death of Alzegund the Trader. The former chief of foreign activities was found murdered four years ago (and some suspect that Naglatha was responsible for Alzegund’s death, but nothing has been proven). She has several alternate identities, the best known being “The Black Flame,” a mercenary recruiter who always wears a black cloak and mask embroidered with leaping flames. She also controls a network of spies and informants in Selgaunt and beyond, and coordinates assassination, extortion, and intelligence operations throughout the Inner Sea region.
