Uddron Blass

Uddron Blass was an illithid cultist of the Absolute who wished to take down Baldur's Gate. "Individual names are meaningless in the face of our shared destiny, but, when names are required, I am called Uddron Blass."

- Uddron to a group of captives

Description
This curious illthid wore some sort of mask and hood. Uddron appeared to be far more muscular than a typical mind flayer, and revealed a well-built torso under a spiked mantle. Uddron's pupil-less eyes had a soft white-pink glow.

Possessions
Uddron wielded a gold-silver two-pronged dagger.

Activities
Uddron sent lackeys to do their work whilst the mind flayer made preparations on behalf of the cult of the Absolute. However, Blass would step in should his underlings not be able to handle certain circumstances.

Relationships
The Master seemed to keep a pet displacer beast, who closely followed their orders. Uddorn also had a mindwitness who aimed to bring "enlightenment" to their servants and insanity to others who stood in the cult's way.

Uddron's Cultists
"Master Uddron has seen the future, Nerys. The Absolute will remake the world."

- Father Alby

Prior to or during 1492 DR, Uddron Blass had infiltrated Baldur's Gate. Many other cultists, some of which were formerly members of churches, referred to Blass as their master. Under Uddron's command, these cultists gathered in the Knowledge-Hold, a grand library containing vast amounts of knowledge. The Heroes of Baldur's Gate caught onto the strange hooded cultists, and interrupted their ritual. A fight broke out between the heroes and the cult members. Father Alby, a former Kelemvorite, attempted to convince Nerys that the master, Uddron, had foreseen future events, and wished to show her their abilities. The heroes, however, managed to escape.

Uddron Steps In
"This pair has proven to be quite resourceful. Now their skills shall serve the Absolute... Prepare them for enlightenment."

- Uddron to the downed heroes

Shandie, with Minsc (and Boo!) and Nerys in tow, approached a man known as Fetcher to acquire information about Master Uddron. He, however, did not know more than they did about the hidden master. At that point, Uddron's mindwitness appeared, along with a group of cultists, but they were slain after a battle. The other two heroes, Krydle and Delina, were attacked by another group of cultists, but Uddron Blass stepped in and blasted them with great psionic energy.

Captured Heroes
"Whatever defiant spirit you think you have will crumble in a few hours or a few days. The gestation time varies, but the results are always the same. A pronounced sense of unity. Let's find out..."

- Master Uddron on a special sort of ceremorphosis.

Master Uddron successfully captured Krydle, Delina, and Coran, and had them chained up underneath the High Hall. Uddron revealed that a Flaming Fist captain belonged to them. Here, Blass tapped into Krydle's mind, turning him against his father, and showing him visions of nautiloids pouring out a void. In a burst of wild magic energy, Uddron and Delina disappeared from the room, leaving the two adventurers behind with the displacer beast. As the beast was taken down, Coran and Krydle escaped.

The Mindbreaker
Krydle's and Uddron's minds were interlocked due to a mindflayer tadpole inside the former, and the remaining heroes made their way to a secret chamber under the streets. Here, Uddron believed he could bring Baldur's Gate to its knees by summoning the Mindbreaker. As the adventurers rushed in, Krydle stabbed Blass with a poisoned dagger, slaying the illithid. As this happened, Delina closed the portal on the Mindbreaker, causing it to be destroyed.
