Your Character
When Threep emerges from the crystal, you try to give it a name. Whatever you choose does not stick as he tells you what his name is. You are surprised that he can talk, and he tells you and your party that while he was trapped in the crystal, he was not asleep. He heard about the mission and joins your party. At Port Parnassus, you get him anchovies to eat when he mumbles in Nia's bag.

If you decline to go out and socialize with Mal and Nia, you spend time with Threep in your room at the inn. When you try to play with him, he tells you that nespers can appreciate the importance of play but it would behoove him to be dignified about it.

Nia Ellarious
Nia recognizes Threep's species when he emerges from the green crystal. She tells you and Mal that nespers were the beloved advisers of the ancient elves before the Great War. When he joins your party, she places him in her bag to keep him safe and to hide him from the prying eyes. Even inside her bag, he can still sense darkness and alerts you and your party about the Shadow influence surrounding the mayor of Port Parnassus.

Mal Volari
"You do know that doesn't make sense, right? You can't just say words with that flirty little smirk and hope no one notices?"

- Threep to Mal

When Mal first meets Threep, he is the only one to object from adding Threep to your party. First, he is unsure if Threep will grow bigger and think all of you are his prey; second, Mal thinks Threep will be defenseless against the Shadow Court. Threep tells him and the rest of you that he's an excellent judge of character, and since Nia and you want to keep him, Mal begrudgingly accepts Threep. They are often found bantering with each other, and sometimes including Tyril Starfury. While Mal calls Threep "mangy", Threep calls Mal out when the latter tells his tall tales. Threep likes to tell the two men to stop squabbling.

Loola Dupopodolis
When entering the dungeons of the castle in the Shadow Realm, Threep senses Loola and begs you to save her. You have the premium option to save her and recruit her (💎 20). If you do, you will learn that she was a long-time friend to Threep. Upon seeing Threep again, she first believes that it's a vision and a trick by the Shadow Court. When asked how long she was held captive, she states that while it was likely for some millennia, she cannot tell anymore. Threep then tells you to quickly give her something to eat and even offers her his last jerky.

After the ceremony for defeating the Shadow Court, Threep and Loola reveal to you and your friends that they received medals for their heroism and that King Arlan appointed them as the royal advisors in the development of his archives. He also offered them unlimited access to the royal larders in exchange.
