Revelations edit

Act Two edit

Enver Gortash is revealed to be Bane's Chosen. In the Mind Flayer Colony underneath Moonrise Towers, Gortash is accompanied by Orin the Red and Ketheric Thorm. Using his Netherese Stone, the Edict of Bane, he issues the order to the Netherbrain to march the Absolute's armies on Baldur's Gate.

Act Three edit

If Enver Gortash is fought, he can call to Bane for aid. If called, Bane transforms Gortash into the Avatar of Tyranny. If Speak with Dead is used on Enver Gortash, Bane responds in his stead - stating that Gortash's soul is now suffering at his hands for failing him.
