== Overview == | |||
Golbraith is a retired [[mind flayer]] hunter, and leading expert on mind flayers and counter-illithid strategies. He is currently dedicating his time to tracking those that have infiltrated the city, having passed the mantle and illithid-hunting responsibilities down to his son. | |||
== | == Involvement == | ||
Golbraith is a | Golbraith is found on the first floor of his home, a building north of [[The Blushing Mermaid]] {{coords|-148|-60}}. If the player reassures him that they know how to deal with mind flayers, he will give them a shield originally gifted to him by Abdel Adrian, {{SmRarityItem|Abdel's Trusted Shield}}.{{ref|Apparently, Golbraith was a friend of {{FRWiki|Abdel Adrian}}, the canonical identity of Gorion's Ward, the main character of the previous installments of the ''Baldur's Gate'' series. Some details about this can be read about in the book {{SmRarityItem|Confidant of a Duke}} found on a bookshelf beside Golbraith. However, neither Golbraith nor this shield appear in any previous games.}} However, if the party tells him ''"You should be out there fighting- not hiding in here!"'' Golbraith will lament his inability to help his son (due to his age) and demand that the party leave his house. | ||
There is also a locked chest on the first floor with some (not-detailed) correspondence between him and his son, and a book inside a chest in the heavily-trapped basement titled {{SmRarityItem|Confidant of a Duke}}, which recounts his first encounter with Abdel on the [[Elfsong Tavern|Elfsong's]] terrace. | |||
Golbraith's mail box also has a letter from [[The Lodge]], asking for a consult on illithids, and some fanmail from someone who used his techniques to best an illithid. | |||
