Bhaal is the God of Murder, a member of the Dead Three and the progenitor of all Bhaalspawn who are his children. He is associated with the domain of Death. Bhaal cannot be the deity of a player character Cleric.
His worshippers in Baldur's Gate 3, the Cult of Bhaal also play a prominent role in Act Three.
Revelations
Act Two
Orin the Red is revealed to be Bhaal's Chosen. In the Mind Flayer Colony underneath Moonrise Towers, Orin is accompanied by Lord Enver Gortash and Ketheric Thorm. Using her Netherese Stone, the Lash of Bhaal, she issues the order to the Netherbrain to march the Absolute's armies on Baldur's Gate.
Act Three
During the confrontation with Orin at the Temple of Bhaal, she can be told the truth about how Sarevok was the one who ordered her mother Helena to kill her when she was young. Orin will refuse to believe at first but if a succesful Deception or Religion check is passed Orin will have a mental breakdown, it is then that Bhaal himself personally intervenes and transforms a terrified Orin into the Slayer.
After Orin is defeated, Sceleritas Fel will inform the Dark Urge that Bhaal is coming. Several blades will appear from Sceleritas's body, seeming to stab through him. Within the reflection of his blood is the Avatar of Bhaal, who appears identical to Sceleritas, albeit with glowing red eyes, and a deep, imposing voice. The Avatar will offer the Dark Urge to become their Chosen, whether they have been resisting or indulging their urge up to this point.
Should the player character accept, the Avatar will grant the player character the Slayer form if they did not previously have it, and will allow for the player character to pursue controlling the Absolute in the name of Bhaal.
Should the player character refuse, the Avatar will drain the essence of Bhaal from the Dark Urge, killing them, before they are ultimately resurrected by Withers, free of the Dark Urge forever, ending The Urge.

Notes
- Bhaal is voiced by Doug Cockle. This is the third actor to play Bhaal. Bhaal was peviously voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson in Baldur's Gate and Michael Dorn in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn. Kevin Michael Richardson was also the original voice of Sarevok.
- Bhaal was originally available as a deity for Cleric in Early Access, but the option was cut in the full release of the game.
- Much of the dialogue a Cleric of Bhaal has remains intact, and can be accessed with mods.
