Act Two[edit | edit source]
Enver Gortash is revealed to be Bane's Chosen. In the Mind Flayer Colony underneath Moonrise Towers, Gortash is accompanied by 
Orin the Red and 
Ketheric Thorm. It is discovered that the Dead Three – Bane, 
Bhaal, and 
Myrkul – have once again formed an alliance to have their chosen create the Cult of the Absolute. Using his 
Netherstone, the Edict of Bane, Gortash issues the order to the Netherbrain to march the Absolute's armies on Baldur's Gate.
Act Three[edit | edit source]
If Enver Gortash is fought, he can call to Bane for aid. If called, Bane transforms Gortash into the 
Avatar of Tyranny. If 
Speak with Dead is used on Enver Gortash, Bane responds in his stead – stating that Gortash's soul is now suffering at his hands for failing him.
