Hidden and bugged .CHR files within the Infinity titles

Good day. I've been attempting to export and recreate all of the pre-generated characters that were made for the various Infinity titles. I'm able to find and export all of them within the games themselves, but some of the files become bugged so that I'm unable to use them. Specifically, the Black Pit 2 default characters within BG2EE and the HoT versions for the IWDEE default characters. I'm also curious as to where the Black Pit and Black Pit 2 characters would actually be found. I've been unable to find them using Near Infinity. Are there hidden files that cannot be seen with third-party tools?

Edit: I've been unable to properly export the SoD versions for the pre-generated characters, as well. Recreating most of the characters isn't overly difficult, but I've been unable to view the exact colors that were used for some of them. Just a long-term pet project that I'm working on to take some of them through EET.

    The premade parties are loaded from CRE files, not CHR. The resources are listed in:
    - tbpparty.2da
    - iwdparty.2da
    - howparty.2da

    For IWDEE, it also has CHR files for import. You can see these in Near Infinity under CHR on the left.

    Note: I did test exporting the premade characters myself and I'm not seeing an issue. I can load the exported CHRs in Near Infinity, or start a new game with them. You might have a mod that's causing issues with exporting.
