Baldur's Gate Who Am I?

Gallowglass

Try this one:-

I have much to tell you, but I'll die before I'll talk.
I appear to be named for the manner of my death.
You'll know my name from my title.

Gallowglass

No takers? And there was I thinking that I'd given y'all a fairly easy one this time! Okay, hint time ...

There are no cryptics in it this time, all three clues are straight literals ... but a couple of the clues may be even more literal than they look.

RelSundan

Lavok? Is that his name? The wizard in the planar sphere?

Gallowglass

@RelSundan - No, not Lavok (although yes, that's the wizard in the sphere).

Neverused

Mook? I can't think of anyone that's named after his or her method of death...

Mush_Mush

Ardenor Crush?

Gallowglass

@Neverused & @Mush_Mush - no.

Further hint: there are many others who also appear to be named after the manner of my death.

semiticgoddess

Monk? As in, the nameless monk from Balthazar's monastery that dies in Abazigal's lair before you get a chance to question him?

semiticgoddess

Jon Irenicus, the Shattered One?

Gallowglass

@semiticgod - no and no ... but in the former case, you're thinking along the right lines.

Gallowglass

Even further hint: it's a somewhat analogous situation to the nameless Monk mentioned by @semiticgod above, except that in the one I'm thinking of, we do discover the dead character's name and information.

Tresset

It isn't Gore-ion is it? Probably not I am guessing... I will think on this for a bit and try to find a real guess...

Tresset

My brain is not working right now... I think I get all your clues but I just can't put them together for some reason. Probably tired...

Gallowglass

No, not Gorion.

RelSundan

(Taze) Tazok

Gallowglass

No, not Tazok.

Gee, I didn't think this one was so hard! Okay, more hint needed ...

The clue referring to "the manner of my death" means "the type of creature which (we can reasonably presume) killed me".

Neverused

... The Ghoul Lord?

gorgonzola

Merella?

Gallowglass

@Neverused - is that a suggested solution, or a question about the manner of the solution's death?

@gorgonzola - no ... but you're getting very close now!

Mush_Mush

Shadow Patrick?

Gallowglass

@Mush_Mush - again no ... but, like @gorgonzola, you're getting very close.

Mush_Mush

uh... Shadow Jailor?

Gallowglass

@Mush_Mush - still no, but still close. You're definitely thinking along the right lines now!

Mush_Mush

Shade Lord? I'm struggling to think of any other unique names with creature esque titles

Tresset

Theshal the Zombie Lord, Mayor of Ghoul Town?

semiticgoddess

Lellyn?

semiticgoddess

Wallag?

Or rather, Wallag's Body?

Gallowglass

@Mush_Mush - no ... but still nearly there. Think about what the third clue might mean.

@Tresset - no ... and see my replies to @Mush_Mush, who is very close to the solution.

Mush_Mush

Amuana?

Tresset

That shadow that is in the jail on the other side of the checkerboard? I have no clue... There are no other shadows there...
