Orin: Difference between revisions

Orin served Bhaal directly under [[The Dark Urge]] as their second in command, though the two were often at odds about the correct way of offering souls to Bhaal. Orin believed that the Urge mutilated their victims without consideration, and what their Father truly wanted was beauty and consideration in the kill.{{cite text|name=orinkill|Blood-Envy for the Unworthy|Orin the Red}} The Urge, on the other hand, understood that Bhaal cared only for the quantity of murder performed in his name, nothing more.{{cite text|name=kill}}

Yearning for respect and status, but dismissed by Bhaal and Sarevok alike,{{ref|"Cleanse the temple of Orin's girlish shrines and bring your primal slaughter back to Bhaal." - Sarevok Anchev}} Orin brooded as she waited for an opportunity to become her father's favored.

The Urge joined forces with [[Bane (God)|Bane's]] Chosen [[Enver Gortash]], and together, they formulated a plan to steal the [[Crown of Karsus]], an ancient arcane object of immense power, and subjugate an [[Elder Brain]] with it in order to create a soulless army to destroy the world with. After recruiting [[Ketheric Thorm]], [[Myrkul|Myrkul's]] Chosen, Orin joined the three in the raid to plant the Crown on the brain beneath [[Moonrise Towers]].  

It was during this time that Orin saw her opportunity and struck, driving a dagger through the Urge's skull and planting an [[Illithid]] tadpole in them. With her former rival left to die and a tadpole devouring their brain, Orin took the Urge's place as Bhaal's Chosen and third member of the conspirators. Orin would prove undisciplined in her role, however, as her bloodlust could not be contained, and rapidly grew to be disliked by the other two who saw her as little more than a necessary nuisance to their plan. At some point between the betrayal and the events of the game, Ketheric and Orin tricked [[Minthara]] into a trap where she murdered her allies and captured her. She then used a tadpole to convert [[Minthara]] into a [[True Soul]].

If the Urge was not chosen as the player character, [[Fallen Bhaalspawn|their corpse]] will be found in Orin's chamber during Act 3, tortured to death by their sister.{{note|This corpse uses the [[Dragonborn#White_Dragonborn]] form for [[The Dark Urge (origin)|the Dark Urge]], as seen in promotional footage for the [[Origin]] and through the in-game default choice.}}

If picked as a player character, they are found by [[Kressa Bonedaughter]] instead, saved from death and held captive in the [[Mind Flayer Colony]] for some time as she experiments on them,{{cite text|Clasped Book (Moonrise Towers)|[[Balthazar]]}} until they are shipped away on the [[Nautiloid]] during the [[Prologue]].{{cite text|Journal of Magthew Budj|[[Maghtew Budj]]}}
