{{SpoilerBox|Prior to the events of Baldur's Gate, Enver Gortash was born to [[Dravo Flymm]] and [[Sally Flymm]], proprietors of Flymm's Cobblers in Baldur's Gate. Enver was given away as a child, sold by his parents to some unknown warlock, so that they could pay off their profound debts. Some time later, he returned to his parents demanding justice for the atrocity they committed. What resulted, was Gortash eventually implanting [[Mind Flayer]] tadpoles into their minds, turning them into puppets that could do little more than praise their exalted son. | {{SpoilerBox|Prior to the events of Baldur's Gate, Enver Gortash was born to [[Dravo Flymm]] and [[Sally Flymm]], proprietors of Flymm's Cobblers in Baldur's Gate.

During his time as a power player in [[Baldur's Gate]], Gortash was a known weapons dealer, and slaver, and in secret, a worshipper of the God of Tyranny, [[Bane]]. At some point during his career, he had hired [[Karlach]] as his bodyguard. He later sold her to [[Zariel]], the Archdevil of [[Avernus]], likely to gain access to a version of the Infernal Engine implanted in Karlach, which could survive on the Material Plane, in which he used to create the [[Steel Watcher|Steel Watchers]]. | During his time as a power player in [[Baldur's Gate]], Gortash was a known weapons dealer, and slaver, and in secret, a worshipper of the God of Tyranny, [[Bane (God)|Bane]].

After having been named the Chosen of [[Bane (God)|Bane]], he had also allied with two other individuals; {{Blur|[[Ketheric Thorm]], the Chosen of [[Myrkul]], and [[The Dark Urge]], the Chosen of [[Bhaal]]}}. Gortash and his allies formulated a plot to enslave an [[The Netherbrain|Elder Brain]] underneath [[Baldur's Gate]] by using an ancient Netherese artifact, the [[Crown of Karsus]], an item so powerful, it had granted its namesake a brief moment of Godhood. Gortash reveals the details of this plot during [[Act Two]], and further explains it in [[Act Three]]. | After having been named the Chosen of [[Bane (God)|Bane]], he had also allied with two other individuals; {{Blur|[[Ketheric Thorm]], the Chosen of [[Myrkul]], and [[The Dark Urge]], the Chosen of [[Bhaal]]}}.

If the player is playing [[The Dark Urge]], {{Blur|Gortash will reveal that the original Chosen of Bhaal was not [[Orin|Orin the Red]], but in fact, [[The Dark Urge]] themselves, and was directly involved in the plot to steal the [[Crown of Karsus]] and use it to manipulate the [[The Netherbrain|Elder Brain]].
