Marlowe

Marlowe is a NPC in Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal who is living in the desolate town of Amkethran. He was once a Calishite merchant who wanted wealth. He sought out the lich Vongoethe and struck a bargain with him: if Marlowe was given wealth and fortune, Marlowe would give Vongoethe his soul after the designated time. But Marlowe, fearing for his life, fled with his daughter after his wife's death at Vongoethe's order. The PC can meet Marlowe in the tavern in Amkethran where Marlowe will ask the PC to meet him in his house atop the cliff. Marlowe will try to persuade the PC to kill Vongoethe who has Marlowe's daughter's soul in his possession. As Vongoethe is a powerful level 30 wizard-lich it is possible some players will reconsider and kill Marlowe instead.
