Montolio Debrouchee is a fictional human character created by R.A. Salvatore in the Forgotten Realms campaign setting. Montolio was a ranger of great renown, having dedicated himself to the defense of all living things not evil in nature, and total dedication to the goddess of the forest, Mielikki, at an early age. He served as a ranger for many years, often as a scout for large armies, or working with small groups of rangers or by himself. Montolio was a good friend of Drizzt Do'Urden. He was blinded five years before he met Drizzt while serving with a ranger group known as the Range Watchers, when they encountered and came into battle against a vicious red dragon, which killed three rangers and melted Montolio's face. His face was healed by clerics, but his eyes were beyond repair. Being pitied even by the Range Watchers and thinking his life meaningless, he fell into despair and came to the grove to die there. Instead, he learned to survive by using his other senses to their fullest extent. He befriended the animals and made it a personal goal to keep watch on, and protect the caravans going near the grove from Graul, an orc leader, and his raiding bandhad. One of his animal companions was a Koukouvagia owl named Hooter, which helped him by hooting over targets that Mooshie would shoot with his mighty bow, or one of the many stategically placed crossbows in his grove.
He was a teacher in the ways of the ranger to Drizzt, telling him of Mielikki. During Drizzt's short stay at Montolio's home in the forest, the two formed a strong friendship.
Montolio eventually died of natural causes in his sleep, after having repelled a vicious orc attack with the aid of Drizzt and Guenhwyvar.

Lady Alustriel Silverhand is a fictional character in the Forgotten Realms universe. She is the elected ruler of Silverymoon and currently holds the title of the ruler of the Silver Marches, a confederation of various states in the areas around Silverymoon (including Mithral Hall, Everlund, Citadel Adbar, and other citadels, towns, and villages).
She is a powerful mage, being one of the Chosen of Mystra and one of the Seven Sisters. She is known for her love and devotion to her people (which may be considered unusual for those who hold political power). Due to this, she is extremely popular in Silverymoon, and most of her subjects would do anything within their power to prevent any harm from happening to her. She is considered a wise and fair ruler, but she does not hesitate to be ruthless when needed (i.e. in diplomacy).
Apart from being an intelligent, wise, and charismatic leader, she is also considered to be very beautiful.
She sought to create a realm that would radiate glory and culture, much like the (now fallen) elvish kingdom of Myth Drannor.
Alustriel has six sisters, Anastra Sylune - who is a ghost dwelling in Shadowdale; Ambara Dove, who is now Dove Falconhand - a ranger; Ethena Astorma (she prefers the shortened "Storm" these days) - a bard; Anamanue Laeral - a mage and the wife of Khelben "Blackstaff" Arunsun; Alassra Shentrantra (known today as the Simbul, the sorceress-queen of Aglarond); and the drow .
Relationship with Drizzt Do'Urden
Alustriel is a close friend of the drow hero Drizzt Do'Urden.
They first met in Streams of Silver wherein she was forced, against her wishes, into denying Drizzt entry into Silverymoon in order to maintain good relations with nearby Nesmé.
Eventually, as Drizzt became more accepted by the locals in the area (and regarded as a hero by many), he has since been allowed into Silverymoon by Alustriel. They have become friends over the years, and she and Drizzt (along with Drizzt’s pet Guenhwyvar) have repeatedly spent time alone together in Alustriel’s home.
Given the nature of both Alustriel and Drizzt, it is assumed that they have merely talked and enjoyed each other’s company. A romantic relationship is only once vaguely implied by Drizzt's companion Bruenor Battlehammer. Drizzt himself has denied any such relationship in the introspective essay at the beginning of Part 2 of The Legacy.
