Nine-Fingers Keene is the human Guildmaster of the Guild in the city of Baldur's Gate.

Overview

Keene is an established Dungeons and Dragons character, who previously appeared in Murder in Baldur's Gate.

Involvement

Nine-Fingers Keene can be found in the Guildhall in the Lower City of Baldur's Gate. She can provide information on finding Minsc.

If Minsc is in the party when visiting again, Nine-Fingers will tell him that he was a hero of hers when she was younger. Minsc and Boo can offer to join the Guild as Nine-Fingers' 'Berserker Lodge', after the Absolute is slain.

Nine-Fingers Keene can help you in the final fight if you side with the Guild instead of the Zhentarim, allowing her personal bodyguards to be summoned with  Gather Your Allies.
