{{Q|My rancid blood whispers to me: kill, kill, and kill again. My ruined body yearns to reap death in this world, and when this foul Urge calls, it possesses my whole being. Injured beyond repair, I know nothing besides this; I must resist this Dark Urge, lest it consume my mind. I must discover what happened to me, and who I was.

During Act One, the Dark Urge will eventually have a long rest event where they murder a camp follower. If she is available, this will always be [[Alfira]]. Otherwise, it will be [[Quil]].

During a long rest event, The Dark Urge will be given the task of killing [[Isobel]] at the [[Last Light Inn]]. Should the player forego killing [[Isobel]], at a later long rest they will be informed that they will kill their closest companion, usually their lover. The player can choose to wake their companion up, if they pass a Wisdom check. If they fail the check, choose to go back to sleep, or choose to kill their companion, they must pass a separate check, or the camp will turn hostile. | During a long rest event, The Dark Urge will be given the task of killing [[Isobel]] at the [[Last Light Inn]].

If the player refused to kill either Isobel or their companion, after arriving at [[Wyrm's Crossing]], it is revealed that the Dark Urge is a [[Bhaalspawn]], and was once the leader of the Cult of [[Bhaal]], before being betrayed and murdered by their [[Orin|sister]]. Further conversation with [[Gortash]] reveals they were one of the original members of the Chosen of the Dead Three, and alongside Gortash, had originally schemed to use the [[Crown of Karsus]] on the Elder Brain to falsify the religion of the [[Absolute]]. In this sense, the Dark Urge is very well the catalyst for the main story's events. | If the player refused to kill either Isobel or their companion, after arriving at [[Wyrm's Crossing]], it is revealed that the Dark Urge is a [[Bhaalspawn]], and was once the leader of the Cult of [[Bhaal]], before being betrayed and murdered by their [[Orin|sister]].
