Balthazar is an undead NPC that can first be encountered during Act Two.

Story

Balthazar can be encountered within the Gauntlet of Shar while progressing the Find Ketheric Thorm's Relic quest.

Balthazar can first be encountered behind a locked door that is guarded by his undead servants.

Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

Approaching the door and/or his servants, wherever they are found, will generally trigger a conversation. A combat encounter will always trigger on conclusion of this conversation, where Dark Justiciar Avengers attack both the undead servants and the player's party. Once this combat resolves, the player may have the opportunity to speak to Balthazar further and learn more about the relic he is searching for. The player also has the option to simply attack and kill Balthazar at any time after this encounter.

The player also has the option to fully avoid contact with Balthazar and his servants until they delve deeper into the Gauntlet. It is impossible to avoid meeting Balthazar if the player reaches this point.

Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

The second place he can be encountered, assuming the player has not killed him, is when the player crosses the threshold into the Shadowfell from within the Gauntlet. If the player has not yet met Balthazar at this point, he will simply introduce himself and give the player the opportunity to help him finish his mission.

Once the player finally meets Balthazar, they are generally allowed to choose at several points if they want to kill him or help him finish his mission.

Spoiler warning! This section reveals details about the story of Baldur's Gate 3.

If the player helps Balthazar obtain the Nightsong and later meets with Ketheric, Ketheric will take the player prisoner. They will wake up in Balthazar's lab aboard the Mind Flayer Colony, where Balthazaar prepares to find a way to remove the artefact from the player's possession; ultimately, a fight between the player and Balthazar will break out.

Balthazar's name (and ribs) were taken from the monk Balthazar, a character from Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal.
