Cruor

Cruor is an imp that can be found dead in the Chosen's Room in the Bhaal Temple within the Undercity. He was sent to Orin to become her butler but instead, she experimented on him leading to his death.

Involvement

Cruor was sent to Orin by her father Sarevok Anchev, against her wishes. According to a nearby book, Orin grew increasingly frustrated at the imp praising the way she slaughtered her enemies that she decided to end its life to silence it. A butler that is no longer needed, for whatever reason, dies permanently.

Notes

• Cruor may be a reference to Cespenar, Bhaal's imp butler from Baldur's Gate 2 who served Gorion's Ward in their Pocket Plane as they explored the limits of their divinity inherited from Bhaal. Some players would find Cespenar's attitude, voice, and lengthy dialogue lines to be annoying.
