“

I am the smile of the worm-cleansed skull. I am the regrets of those who remain, and the restlessness of those who are gone. I am the haunt of mausoleums, the god of graves and age, of dust and dusk. I am Myrkul, Lord of Bones, and you have slain my chosen. But it is no matter. For I am Death. And I am not the end - I am a beginning.

Revelations

Act Two

 Ketheric Thorm is revealed to be Myrkul's Chosen. In the Mind Flayer Colony underneath Moonrise Towers, Ketheric Thorm is accompanied by  Enver Gortash and  Orin the Red. 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 Testament of Myrkul, Ketheric issues the order to the Netherbrain to march the Absolute's armies on Baldur's Gate.

When confronting Ketheric Thorm, he reveals Myrkul resurrected his daughter  Isobel in exchange for becoming his Chosen and aiding Bane and Bhaal's chosen with growing the Cult of the Absolute, along with his eventually betraying them to take control over it.

After Ketheric Thorm is defeated; either by battle or passing a persuasion check, he informs the party that Myrkul has come and throws himself off the platform. Angered by the party, Myrkul possesses Ketheric's body; it becomes the  Apostle of Myrkul to deal with them.

When the Apostle of Myrkul is defeated its body disintegrates and reverts back to Ketheric Thorm, reappearing on the platform. He begs Myrkul for aid but Myrkul does not respond to his pleas.
