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.

Taking information from the captured cultist they travel back to the Fetcher whom had been "playing" all sides, Krydle manges to get the location of Deniak. Attacking the cult splinter group they best the defender but don't manage to stop the ritual which turns Deniak into a Red dragon.

Chasing the changed Deniak whom had captured Delina Kyrdle and shandie acted quickly getting up on a high tower and throwing a grappling hook in the dragon wing. The dragon crashed in to the tower and got stuck under the rubble where the party finished it off. In Kyrdle and Shandies hide out the party talked about the future of Delina as she planned to leave, but her new found allies made her stay in the "City of Misfits and Outsiders". Also reminding the party they if the are going to become famous they are also going to need a cleric!
