Alakil

“Maybe I’ll feel differently one day. Maybe you will too. A lot can happen in a life.”

Race: Drow Class: Monk (Way of the Four Elements) Place of Origin: Imberlur Companion Quest Name: Monk of the Masked Lady

A half-drow monk on a pilgrimage to represent his much maligned people to the people of Faerun, in hopes that it will open minds and hearts. He recently entered a new period of his life, and isn’t wholly sure what to do with himself.

Barb Ikkan

“If you believe you’re the one in control then you have gravely misread the situation.”

Race: Red Dragonborn Class: Paladin (Oath of Vengeance) Place of Origin: Baldur’s Gate Companion Quest Name: The Commandant

A battle-scarred sellsword who was once the charismatic leader that a now defunct mercenary company once rallied around. He is an old soldier whose extensive experience keeps the large and often chaotic crew running smoothly. 

Belaufein

“I didn’t join because I wanted to kill elves, alright? I was just trying to live. I’m just trying to live.”

Race: Drow Class: Assassin Place of Origin: Menzoberranzan Companion Quest Name: A Drow of No House

A houseless rogue from the lowest caste of drow society. After being recruited into a house army during Menzoberranzan’s civil war, he is now unable to return home after deserting his unit during a raid gone bad.

Pretty regularly referred to as Rat Boy in the comments.

Grenna

"The rest of the world is big, and loud, and scary. And some of the people you meet... well, most of them are fine, I think. Most of them are really just fine."

Race: Forest Gnome Class: Wild Magic Sorcerer Place of Origin: Yartar Companion Quest Name: The Flower of Yartar

An alchemist who came to possess powerful but unstable magical abilities after a traumatic encounter in the underdark. She left a seemingly idyllic community for the hardship of a coastal city to separate from a family that became overprotective after this incident, but still struggles to see herself as truly capable, and still fears to explore the full extent of the power she was granted.

Jack-Be-Quick

"Now THERE'S a story..."

Race: Lightfoot Halfling Class: Bard (College of Lore) Place of Origin: Baldur’s Gate Companion Quest Name: All For A Song

A bard who seems to be living the dream, apart from a years-long creative slump that has been steadily sucking the fun out of the whole enterprise. More cynical than is initially apparent.

Keep-The-Laws

“COME ON THEN!”

Ten years ago, Laws was involved in a robbery gone wrong that destroyed the life he was trying to build. He was abducted just as the key to finally setting things right seemed within reach, and he’s determined to reach it, even if he has to fight every for step from here to Baldur’s Gate.

Race: Tiefling Class: Storm Sorcerer [later Paladin] Place of Origin: Unnamed Hamlet Companion Quest Name: Blood and Thunder

Yggridel

“I’m glad they exist. Even the horrors. Even the mindflayers. The world would be poorer if they didn’t.”

Race: Gold Dwarf Class: 10 Cleric (Oghma, knowledge domain), 2 Wizard (Dvination) Background: Sage Place of Origin: Candlekeep Companion Quest Name: The Pilgrim From Candlekeep

A dwarven cleric of knowledge with some worrying mad scientist tendencies. Cursed to put their hands on everything, Dell is here to pull levers, solve puzzles, lick spiders, and perform other ill-advised experiments in the name of advancing arcana.

Pronounced Ee-Grid-Dell. Or just Dell, if you don't have much time.
