Baldurs Gate 3

Towering and armored, Ketheric wears heavy, ornate plate darkened by corruption. His face is pale and sallow, with sunken, undead-like features, reflecting his cursed immortality. Often cloaked in shadows and surrounded by eerie necrotic energy. Wields a massive mace infused with divine and necrotic power.

Tragic, fanatical, and self-righteous — he believes his actions are ultimately justified by love and loss. Often speaks with sorrow or rage, especially when referencing Isobel or the betrayal of Selûne. Carries the air of a fallen paladin: once noble, now ruled by bitterness and unholy power. Has an eerie calmness in conversation, but becomes explosively wrathful in combat.

Ketheric was once a devout paladin and faithful servant of Selûne, the Moon Goddess. After the death of his beloved daughter Isobel, he lost his faith and descended into despair. His grief made him vulnerable to the influence of the Absolute, and he ultimately broke his sacred oaths. In a bid to undo death and suffering, he made dark pacts, resulting in his cursed immortality. He turned Moonrise Towers from a sanctuary into a fortress of evil, becoming a tyrant ruling the Shadow-Cursed Lands. His daughter Isobel survives in a spiritual form, protected at Last Light Inn — a source of emotional torment for him.
