Gorion

Gorion was a skilled mage and cleric, a learned sage and a respected Harper. He lived in the library-fortress of Candlekeep during the times when he wasn't adventuring.

During his long life, Gorion, among other things, foiled the plans of the dragon Firkraag, befriended fellow Harpers, Khalid and Jaheira and, in his last act as an adventurer he rescued the Bhaalspawn Abdel Adrian and took him in as his own son.

He had the monks of Candlekeep teach Abdel formally, while he himself also gave him personal tutoring. Abdel's identity as a Bhaalspawn was discovered and Gorion had a hard time in stopping him from getting banished.

In 1368 DR Gorion interrupted Abdel's chores, gave him some gold and told him to prepare for the road. That night they set off without explanation but while travelling along the Lion's Way they were ambushed by Sarevok, his lover Tamoko and a pair of Ogres. Sarevok demanded Gorion hand over Abdel to him but Gorion bade Abdel to run and battled with the foursome, killing the Ogres and making Tamoko flee. Unfortunately, despite his efforts, Sarevok managed to kill Gorion.
