Enver Gortash was born to [[Dravo Flymm|Dravo]] and [[Sally Flymm]], the proprietors of [[Flymm's Cobblers]] in Baldur's Gate. The Flymms were in debt, and sold their son into slavery to pay them off<ref name="Speak with Dead 1">Casting Speak With Dead on Dravo Flymm</ref><ref name="Tadpoling 1">Connecting with Sally Flymm's tadpole</ref><ref name="Nubalin">Dialogue with Nubalin in the House of Hope</ref>.


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.
Believed by the Flymms to be a warlock, Gortash was in reality sold to [[Raphael]]<ref name="Nubalin">Dialogue with Nubalin in the House of Hope</ref>. Gortash became a pageboy in [[Raphael]]'s and [[Nubalin]]'s service. He was physically abused<ref name="Nubalin">Dialogue with Nubalin in the House of Hope</ref>.
