— Arthus, after refugees arrive at Last Light Inn. |
Involvement
Last Light Inn
Arthus is only encountered at Last Light Inn when the party frees and breaks out the prisoners from Moonrise Towers Prison, and escape with them by boat. Among the dialogue options, the party can propose fleeing to Last Light Inn with the prisoners if they've already been there; selecting "I don't - but I'll join you on the boat. We'll see where we end up." in the event the party has never been to Last Light Inn before, sends the prisoners to the Last Light while the party gets a scene similar to the scene from entering Last Light for the first time, therefore preventing them from interacting with Arthus.
Provided the party frees the prisoners, has been to Last Light Inn before and leads them there, Arthus will address the party upon their arrival. Arthus clearly expresses disapproval[1], remarking that there are procedures for every new arrivals[2][3]. He pulls out a Mind Flayer Tadpole in a jar and addresses the unloaded prison escapees, telling them to get in line as to check them for signs of illithid infections, to the prisoners' utter confusion.
Arthus will then proceed to walk and stand in front of each freed prisoner. After finding no signs of tadpoles within the escaped prisoners, Arthus lets them go and walks away, before completely disappearing from the game once out of range.

Notes
- Arthus is an identical one-to-one copy of Bor, and only spawns when the party returns to Last Light Inn, immediately after freeing the prisoners from Moonrise.
- Arthus and Bor are completely identical in every single aspect, bearing the same appearance, equipment, class, and even stats.
- Arthus and Bor, however, do not share the same voice actor.
- Therefore, as of Patch 6, despite having Extra Attack, Arthus is not able to attack twice during his turns.
- Arthus is uniquely trusted among Harpers to hold a
Mind Flayer Parasite Specimen; the only other Harper seen to personally hold a Mind Flayer tadpole to check for potentially infected people is Jaheira.
