Brilgor

Brilgor is a deceased Tiefling refugee, who was accused of the murder of Father Lorgan. He is buried in the graveyard behind the Open Hand Temple.

History

Brilgor was one of many refugees fleeing to Baldur's Gate from the war of the Absolute. While in the city, Brilgor often visited the Open Hand Temple for meals, and to talk to the Reverend, Father Lorgan.

At some point, Brilgor was being pursued by the Flaming Fists, and turned to Father Lorgan to help him hide. Lorgan took Brilgor to a large underground cavern beneath the temple, where he was also sheltering several other refugees.

Unbeknownst to them, a group of Doppleganger members of the Cult of Bhaal, lead by Dolor, had been collecting kills in the cavern. Upon entering the cavern, Lorgan and Brilgor were attacked and killed by Dolor; pierced by his blade and paralysed.

After the discovery of their bodies, Lorgan and Brilgor's murders were investigated by Investigator Valeria, who deemed Brilgor guilty of killing Lorgan, though the rest of the temple were sceptical.

Brilgor was buried in the graveyard behind the temple, his headstone reading: "Brilgor. Fell to anger and rage - taking Father Lorgan with him. May Ilmater forgive him."

Involvement

Main article: Solve the Open Hand Temple Murders

When the party reaches the Open Hand Temple in Rivington, they will discover that the Reverend of the temple, Father Lorgan, was killed, with Brelgor as the prime suspect.

Inside the temple, Sister Yannis will be arguing with the investigator, Valeria, over the veracity of her claims. Yannis, and Brother Donnick, will tell the party that they believe Brilgor to innocent.

Brilgor's body is buried behind the temple; opening his casket and removing his body will allow the party to  Speak with Dead to his corpse. He will answer a number of questions about his death, revealing that he and Lorgan were murdered in the tunnels beneath the temple by a dwarf in "red clothes".

The circumstances and description of the murderer can also be corroborated by talking to Father Lorgan's corpse, however, Valeria will need hard evidence to clear Brilgor. In order to do this, Valeria must be given a bloodstained note found in a secret room on the top floor of Fraygo's Flophouse X: -21 Y: 79, which contains a list of the murderer's victims.

If Brilgor is exonerated, his headstone will read; "Brilgor. Fell to a plot of the Absolute - dying without cause. May he find peace with Ilmater."
