Karlach is one of the Companions in Baldur's Gate 3, and you can obtain the Sword of Justice by saving her. She is an Origin character with a backstory who can be included in your party after you find and recruit her at the Risen Road.

When Anders offers you the Hunt the Devil quest and the sword as a reward, you will be required to hunt down Karlach. However, since she is an Origin character, killing her would impact your gameplay. So, it is recommended that you do not fall for Anders' dubious plan.
