The Absolute, an [[Mind Flayer|Illithid]] [[Elder Brain]] evolved into a Netherbrain from the power of the Crown of Karsus, actually had a fairly positive relationship with The Dark Urge who it views as the Kingmaker that crowned it. This also extended to admiration for The Dark Urge's desires and methodology, even admitting that had they still been in charge of the conspiracy of The Dead Three it would have gone along with their plans more readily stating: ''"Your plan was devious, your cruelty unparalleled. I would have followed it, were your mind not destroyed by your sister. But with you gone, the three pitiful Chosen fought like children in your wake. I gave them power to harm one another with, while I crafted my design."'' While this could be the Netherbrain simply humoring The Dark Urge who was trying to bind it and thus lull them into a false unease, it is made clear the Absolute feels no threat from The Dark Urge in this moment and has no reason to lie as it believes it is right at the cusp of ultimate victory and the culmination of The Grand Design. | The Absolute, an [[Mind Flayer|Illithid]] [[Elder Brain]] evolved into a Netherbrain from the power of the Crown of Karsus, actually had a fairly positive relationship with The Dark Urge who it views as the Kingmaker that crowned it.

* Due to their similarities to previous protagonists of the Baldur's Gate series, as well as the increased content The Dark Urge has over [[Character Creation|Tav]], it is theorized that the Dark Urge is the canon protagonist of [[Baldur's Gate 3]]. This has not been confirmed or denied by [[Baldur's Gate 3]]'s development team as of writing.{{SpoilerBox|This is due to the fact that both the Dark Urge and Gorion's Ward are Bhaalspawn, which is an incredibly important plot point in the Baldur's Gate series. [[Baldur's Gate 3]] is simultaneously the only game that does not feature Gorion's Ward as a possible protagonist, meaning The Dark Urge could be acting as a stand-in.}} | |||
