Imogen Temult

 is a human sorcerer and a member of the Campaign Three adventuring party. She is played by Laura Bailey.

Appearance
When she first appears, Imogen is introduced as a young, human woman with long, light-purple hair. She wears a light blue dress and has a yellow scarf tied around her neck. When casting some spells, her eyes are described as briefly flashing white, and magical energy appears to climb up her arms.

Personality
Imogen speaks with a Southern American accent and tends to be rather soft-spoken. She is generally kind, but will stand up for herself. She has also proven herself to be a quick thinker, a smooth talker, and a competent strategist.

Imogen is a reserved and reclusive person, shying away from crowds and preferring not to draw attention to herself. This is due, in some part, to her ability to hear the thoughts of others: when surrounded by larger numbers of people, opening her mind runs the risk of inviting increasingly dissonant whispers that cloud her consciousness and quickly become overwhelming. Laura Bailey described Imogen as "an attentive, small-town girl" who is "reserved and thoughtful".

She is curious about the origins of her magic and wants to learn more about her powers, which she finds overwhelming.

Background
Imogen's home village is Gelvaan, a place with green fields of tall grass in a plateau valley in the Taloned Highlands. She had only been in Jrusar for about a month before meeting the rest of the Campaign Three adventuring party. She has recurring nightmares about a terrifying red storm.

Chapter 20
After running into roadblocks in their attempt to gain access to the Starpoint Conservatory, Imogen and her companion Laudna responded to a dangerous magical disturbance in the streets of Jrusar, joining two other small groups. The combined group's effectiveness earned them introductions to Lord Eshteross, who offered to make connections for Imogen and Laudna if the group of adventurers proved capable of helping him clean up problems in the city. For their trial task, they investigated potential thefts at one of Eshteross's warehouses.  After dining with Lord Eshteross and a round of drinks at the Spire by Fire Inn, Imogen and Laudna returned to their home in the Windowed Wall. As she slept, Imogen dreamt that she was standing in a grassy field in her hometown of Gelvaan, alongside her horse. The idyllic scene abruptly transitioned to a familiar storm of swirling, hungry red clouds. Sprinting in the opposite direction towards her home, she saw a refined older gentleman who - as Bertrand Bell lay bleeding out in an alleyway - proudly walked towards the tempest and disappeared into the storm.

Laudna

 * &rarr; Main article: Relationship between Imogen and Laudna

Imogen is Laudna's closest ally, whom Laudna met while she was in Imogen's town a couple of years ago. They "hit it off real well" and decided to start traveling together. They share a goal: to try to enter one of the conservatories located in the Spires so Imogen can do research. They have been staying together in Jrusar with their landlady, Zhudanna.

Abilities
Imogen has a homebrewed ability, Open Mind, where she has constant, passive access to other people's thoughts. She normally suppresses this ability, but using this feature mechanically represents her lowering her guard against these thoughts and allowing herself to hear them.
 * Open Mind: Imogen attempts to read another's thoughts, similar to casting Detect Thoughts. She makes a Wisdom saving throw based on how many people are within 30 feet of her, and if she fails she makes Constitution saving throws to maintain concentration at disadvantage for the rest of the day.

Behind the scenes
After playing the outgoing Jester Lavorre in Campaign Two, Laura Bailey said that playing a "reserved and thoughtful" character like Imogen was difficult. She wanted Imogen to be constantly bombarded by other people's thoughts, thus she and Matt developed her Open Mind ability to mechanically represent Imogen trying to wall herself off from hearing them at all times.

Quotations

 * Imogen: (under her breath) "You done made me cuss."

Trivia

 * Some fans have compared Imogen, who is stated to be human descriptively and mechanically, to kalashtar. Kalashtar are a psychic people in the Eberron setting created from the merging of humans and quori spirits. They are telepathic and their eyes often glow while concentrating or experiencing strong emotion.
 * Laura suggested on Twitter that Imogen has purple hair because Laura owns a purple wig.
 * Imogen's accent is similar to the one Laura Bailey previously used as Xoti in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire.
 * The animation on her stat card features lightning flashing through thick clouds.
