Like his Lawful Evil patron deity, Gortash was an expert manipulator and cunning, charismatic individual, having demonstrated exceptional intelligence from a young age. He was however extremely smug, hateful and callous, so much so that even his own mother wanted little to do with him.Parents and Early Enver Gortash was born to Dravo and Sally Flymm, the proprietors of Flymm's Cobblers in Baldur's Gate. The Flymms were in debt, and sold their son into slavery to pay them off. His parents describe him as a clever child, often found tinkering. They also described him as hateful and needy, too clever for his own good.

Mistaken by the Flymms as a warlock, Gortash was in reality sold to Raphael[3]. Gortash became a pageboy in Raphael's and Nubalin's service[4]. He was physically abused[3], and left on poor terms[5].

Early Careereditedit source

Before he became 'Lord' Gortash, Enver started out operating as a black market weapons dealer[6] before expanding his operation into other businesses. At some point Enver Gortash had hired a young Karlach as his bodyguard. He betrayed her later, striking a deal with Zariel to sell Karlach as a test subject for an implanted Infernal Engine[7]. It is unknown what Gortash received in return. Rumours say that he had Helsik open a transplanar portal to Hell during this period.[8]

Enver Gortash was able to supplant the Knights of the Shield as the leading black market dealer in Baldur's Gate[6], but not without trouble[9]. His initial attempts to sway their client base by offering a more generous cut saw little success. Through generous bribes, Gortash began uncovering the nature of this resistance[10]. He was also able to supplant the Zhentarim's position in the Chionthar Valley[6].

In time he became known as a "Military Advisor" to Baldur's Gate Elite [11]. He had an affair with Lady Jannath[12].

Rise to Powereditedit source

At some point, Gortash became a 'Chosen' of the god Bane, and after this he began taking more ambitious endeavors that led to him accruing more power and influence within the political structures of Baldur's Gate.

Around this time, Gortash formed an alliance with two other powerful individuals: Ketheric Thorm, the Chosen of Myrkul, and The Dark Urge, (who at the time was) the Chosen of Bhaal. The third member of this alliance was eventually deposed by Orin the Red and Gortash allowed her to join the alliance in place of her predecessor.

Pursuing both power and the aims of their patron deities, Gortash and his allies formulated a plot to enslave an Elder Brain underneath Baldur's Gate by using an ancient Netherese artifact, the Crown of Karsus, an item so powerful, it had granted its namesake a brief moment of Godhood. Gortash reveals the details of this plot during Act Two, and further explains it in Act Three.

At some point, Enver Gortash returned to his parents for revenge. What resulted, was Gortash eventually implanting Mind Flayer tadpoles into their minds, turning them into puppets that could do little more than praise their exalted son.
