Krydle

Krydle ("Cry dull" with a quick L) was a half-elf thief and poet who lived in Baldur's Gate, estranged from his father Coran. He hated the politics of the city and the schism between upper and lower cities. He joined Minsc and Delina's quest.

Personality
A man with a mischievous nature and want for unique experiences, he might have seemed shallow but in truth he looked for close friends and adventure as his surrogate family.

History
The son of Coran, the famous patriarch of Baldur's Gate, Kyrdle grew estranged to his father and thus hated the politics of the city.

Krydle was apparently at some point a member of the city's criminal underground, obtaining allies, training as a thief, learning thieves' cant, and finding a hidden underground safehouse. At some point, he met the halfling ally Shandie who became a trusted friend.

Running into Minsc and Delina and finding them at odds with the city watch, Krydle felt compelled him to aid them, taking them to his hidden safehouse. After hearing their tale, he agreed to help them, taking them from the upper city to the lower city, where they couldn't be easily found, and trying to get information on Delina's brother. He also revealed that the tensions between the lower and upper cities were the worst they'd been for some time.

In order to aid them, he needed the aid of the fetcher, who agreed to help if a message was hand delivered to Coran. Krydle agreed, swearing and muttering to himself. After an ambush by Cult of the Dragon in an alley, he started to realize the danger the duo was in, so he decided to go alone to a Parliament of Peers social event to deliver the letter.

At the social event, he found his father and angrily gave him the letter. Cora tried to talk to his son, ultimately his "guidance" being rejected as "manipulation". When asked why they couldn't have a conversation, Krydle angrily responded he didn't have anything to say, calling his father "part of the city's illustrious oppressors" and saying he "rejected [his father's] principles at every turn" and "Mother would be so proud".

A battle ensued as Delina recognized one of the ambushers. The battle then moved to the rooftops, where she was captured by the Cult of the Dragon while the party in turn captured one of cultists.
