Gorion's history

Was Gorion a character lifted from the FR novels? Or was he created strictly for the game?

Re: Gorion's history

As I understand it, he did feature in a FR novel, Baldur's Gate by Philip Athans, but that was released about 6 months after the game itself. So no, he probably wasn't lifted.

Re: Gorion's history

Wikipedia lists many BG characters as being canon, including folks like Ulraunt and Kelldath Ormlyr. Gorion is not on that list.

As for the Baldur's Gate novels . . . it's fairly common knowledge among BG fans that no books about the BG sage have ever been written, and that a character named "Abdel Abdarian" never existed. Nope. Never.
