Bargaining are you? A Kara-Tur warlord once tried the same - I made him watch as I ate his concubines and young, then fashioned a codpiece from his skull.

— Yurgir
Yurgir is an Orthon, a powerful type of Fiend from the Nine Hells. He has been trapped in the Gauntlet of Shar by Raphael through a contract between them. Initially the player is ambushed by Yurgir. He catches the scent of Raphael immediately. Yurgir laments his hatred towards the devil and explains the details of their contract. As a result of the contract he intends to kill anyone that dare venture into his wing of the temple. Yurgir and his band of Merregons are ready to attack. Through conversation, the party can learn more about his circumstances and about the fate of the Dark Justiciars.
During the fight against him in Gauntlet of Shar, once he gets to low enough hp, he throws multiple Orthonic Handbomb all around him, all of which can be picked up and used as regular grenades.
After talking with Yurgir, and a fight didn't occur, a Hoarding Merregon can be traded with. It is found at X: -660 Y: -760. If you trade with it but then kill Yurgir and his minions, it does not drop any gold you used to purchase wares, nor most of the ordinary items traded.
The player can help Yurgir fulfill his contract, allowing him to return to the Nine Hells to make a new contract with Raphael. Alternatively, Yurgir can be defeated through conversation or combat.
If Yurgir is left unharmed and helped, he will return later in the game. He will help against the boss at the House of Hope and fight the Elder Brain.
If Yurgir is defeated via combat or deceit, he will assist the boss in the House of Hope. It is possible to convince him to fight alongside you (DC 30), both against the boss and in the fight against the Elder Brain.
Next to Yurgir's bed of corpses lays an Umbral Gem.
