Lord '''Enver Gortash''', often referred to as just '''Gortash''', is a major story NPC who appears in Baldur's Gate 3. He is first mentioned by name during Act One, then introduced on-screen during the concluding events of Act Two, before going on to play a much larger role in [[Act Three]].  
Lord '''Enver Gortash''', often referred to as just '''Gortash''', is one of the Chosen of the [[Absolute]], the enigmatic cult taking over the Sword Coast, and serves as one of the main antagonists in [[Baldur's Gate 3]].


After his first on-screen appearance, it is quickly revealed that Gortash is one of the three 'Chosen' leading the [[Cult of the Absolute]]. Gortash specifically, is a 'Chosen' for the God of Tyranny, [[Bane (God)|Bane]].
Despite his humble beginnings, Gortash quickly rose through the ranks of society in [[Baldur's Gate]] with great cunning. Now, an influential figure and poised to become the Archduke of the city, he seeks to consolidate his power and become the ruler of the city and beyond, through whatever means are necessary.

==Overview==
==Overview==
=== Description ===
===Background===
Enver Gortash is cunning and self-assured, and was noticed as intelligent from a early age. Above all else, Gortash seeks power and progress, though he often disregards or fails to consider the negative impacts his actions have on others. Young Gortash is described as needy and troublesome by his parents, though they mistreated him in turn.<ref name="Speak with Dead 1">Casting [[Speak With Dead]] on [[Dravo Flymm]]</ref>
{{UnderConstruction|section}}
 
Similarly to his patron [[Bane]], Gortash is inclined to work with others when it serves his interests, and will work toward what he believes to be the benefit of his allies. {{ref|"''That thing in your chest made you more powerful than you could ever have dreamed of. I conspired to give you a gift, and you're furious about it.''" - Gortash to [[Karlach]]}}


Gortash has short, dark hair, styled with artful mess. His facial features are rounded, and beginning to show the signs of age, with many creases and some scars. Gortash's style of dress is extravagant and reflective of his wealth; his wide open collar displaying gilded dragons, intricately designed gold gauntlets, and noticeably, bright red and pointy steel-tipped boots.
