Carixim

Carixim is the forgemaster of Avernus, and is referenced, but does not appear in Baldur's Gate 3

	“	Carixim, soul-stuffed forgemaster of hellish Avernus, hammers away ceaselessly at new creations. Questions of morality and destiny do not concern him. Conscience is for his betters. He works with cheer, his swollen skin moaning soothingly.	„
		— Description of the Helldusk Armour

Overview

The description text of several items describe or reference Carixim, and reveal that  Dammon was apprenticed to him when Elturel was dragged into Avernus. Each of the following quotes is followed by the words; "Overheard from the smith Dammon" in the item's in-game description unless noted otherwise:

•  Flawed Helldusk Helmet - "When I found Carixim, he turned to me, all those poor people's souls crammed into him like too many bees in a rotten hive, and he... He grinned at me. And he said: I been expecting you, boy."
•  Flawed Helldusk Armour - "I learned so much from Carixim. All sorts of forgecraft that... S-sorry. Just when I think of him, and the whimpers those people inside him made... I don't know. Anyway, it was worth it. Worth it to be the best."
•  Flawed Helldusk Gloves - "Beneath those horrible sounds of... well, let's call it what it was: torment, Beneath the tormented screams I heard this moaning sound like many people in pain, and I heard the ringing of a great hammer. Carixim's forge was close."
•  Gloves of Flint and Steel - "Carixim, a fiendish smith of hell who gorged himself fat on souls by the thousand, did not consider himself to have enemies, though many hated him dearly."
•  Helldusk Helmet - "It is said that Carixim, the fiending titan whose flesh squirms with twenty-thousand trapped souls, forged the pieces of this armour set."
