During '''Act 2''', should the Dark Urge kill Isobel at the Last Light Inn, they are granted the Slayer form, revealing the their heritage as a Bhaalspawn to those familiar with the previous Baldur's Gate games, which was an ability that Bhaalspawn could acquire within those previous games. Should the player forego killing Isobel, after making their way to Baldur's Gate in '''Act 3''', arriving at Wyrm's Crossing, it is revealed you were not only a Bhaalspawn, but the leader for the Cult of Bhaal. Further conversation with Gortash reveals you were one of the original members of the Chosen of the Dead Three, and alongside Gortash, had originally schemed to use the Crown of Karsus on the Elder Brain to falsify the religion of the Absolute. In this sense, the Dark Urge is very well the catalyst for the main story's events.

The only reason the Dark Urge is not within this position is because Orin the Red, envious of the Dark Urge's power and control over the cult, betrayed them, inflicted amnesia upon them, and took control of the cult herself.

After this revelation, the Dark Urge may follow the story just as a normal character may. They can attempt to restore their original partnership with Gortash, which is still available to other Origins under a different context, but the important choice the Dark Urge makes is whether they restore themselves as Bhaal's Chosen, or simply fight Orin with no intention to retake the mantle.

Should they refuse to become Bhaa'ls chosen, the Dark Urge will be drained of every divine aspect of the god, and be reborn by Withers, free from the Urge.}}
