[edit] Requested move
I've requested a move from "Jarlaxle Baenre" to "Jarlaxle", as the former contains a spoiler within its title—it is a secret uncovered by reading the books that Jarlaxle is Matron Baenre's son. It's perfectly valid to have an emboldened "Jarlaxle Baenre" on the page, but further down the page under a spoiler warning, not as the title. -Erolos 15:38, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
I agree, I do detest revealing my secrets before they are used to their fullest extent. Perhaps some one could help me in not spoiling other hidden issues of Jarlaxle Baenre? Jarlaxle, ruler of the universe 20:29, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I don't see how Jarlaxle can be Neutral Evil because the signs point to him being Chaotic Neutral, think about it, Jarlaxle only kills when he needs to or feels threatens which is a trait that embodies a Neutral aligned character and Chaotic because he is a drow. Now if he was a follower of Lolth then i would say CE but it just doesn't fit his character.
I agree - regardless of what it says about him in the villain's lorebook, he is consistently portrayed as the personification of a chaotic neutral character. - acespot
- This is not something democratic.

[edit] Result
Moved. WhiteNight T | @ | C 01:19, 30 December 2005 (UTC)
In Villain's lorebook, Jarlaxle is neutral evil, and he is just a fighter, can someone give sources for his change of alignment and his rogue/wizard class?
Yo, does anyone know what books come after servant of the shard that have to do with Jarlaxle and Artemis. I want to read more about them.
- The Sellswords series. ⇒ JarlaxleArtemis 01:44, 19 August 2006 (UTC)
Thanx for the answer to my question.
[edit] Jarlaxles State
At the end of Servant of the Shard It explains something about Jarlaxle being sacrificed by his own family. Does this mean that Jarlaxle is a Zin-Carla? Jamo 04:30, 18 October 2006 (UTC)
- No. Matron Baenre wanted to sacrifice him, but she failed to penetrate his skin. More hints are given in "The Road of the Patriarch", but I think it's too early to include them here. Lolth had no hand in the fate of Jarlaxle. Philip Kopetzky 19:03, 2 November 2006 (UTC)
Lolth had everything to do with Jarlaxle's life being spared. She is some kind of goddess and was able to see that there was something about Jarlaxle that would cause him to search out chaos and intrigue. Lolth grew interested in him, and rather than have him sacrificed she spared his life. For this no one in Menzoberanzan could lay a finger on Jarlaxle Baenre, or they would face the wrath of Lolth. Maxxiboy 20:24, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
- No. As described in "The Road of the Patriarch", the psionicist of House Oblodra saved Jarlaxle with an undetectable forcefield. His mother just assumed that Lolth was protecting him, as everyone did. Kimmuriel Oblodra later hints that he was protected for a reason (even if it was only to provoke Matron Baenre).

[edit] Copy editing and cleanup
This article needs some serious attention to grammar, tense, and general style; especially the "History" section. The recent add by user 80.193.98.48 needs MASSIVE cleanup, but I haven't read the book yet, so I don't know what he was trying to say. I've added the "copyedit" template to the article. I'm going to do what I can, but I'm only one person. Help! -- Weirdoactor 16:02, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
Attempted to clean up the "History" paragraph for grammar, clarity and such and such. Hope it helped. -- TheCheshiresGrin09:00, 4 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Why is this here
why is this here /For enough money, Jarlaxle and his band might ally with Gromph Baenre, the Archmage of Menzoberranzan, to set about changing Menzoberranzan's Lolth and female-dominated society/ it seems to much of an guess to be here dragonfirered94
