Sarevok

Sarevok is one of the main characters in BioWare's Baldur's Gate game series.

Biography
Sarevok was raised as an urchin in the streets until he was adopted by his foster father into the Iron Throne. There, he studied the art of intimidation and the cruelest and most brutal styles of combat in order to become a Deathbringer that could paralyze an opponent in melee through fear alone... as well as sometimes killing the most powerful of opponents in a single, massive blow.

In the first chapter of the game, Sarevok appears as a heavily armored figure who viciously kills the protagonist's foster father Gorion. Throughout the first installment of Baldur's Gate, the player character discovers that Sarevok is his or her brother, and that both are the children of the dead god Bhaal.

Sarevok is plotting through politics and manipulation to start a war between Baldur's Gate and Amn, causing enough carnage to transform him into the new god of murder. By the time both siblings clash in a mortal battle at the end of the game, Sarevok has slain many of his kin, and is one of the strongest surviving children of the Lord of Murder.

After his death by the protagonist's hands in the first part of Baldur's Gate, Sarevok makes a few brief appearances in Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn as a shadow to challenge the player character. Later, he is resurrected for Baldur's Gate II: Throne of Bhaal as a non-player character that can join the protagonist's party. This is done by taking some of the divine essence from the player character or Imoen, who turns out to be Bhaalspawn as well.

By installing David Gaider's semi-official mod Ascension, which develops and clarifies Sarevok's persona (among other enhancements), it's also possible to change Sarevok's alignment and therefore his fate after the end of the game by taking the appropriate dialogue options.

After he leaves Hell Sarevok's personal beliefs are quite vague, concerning this alliance with the protagonist. Although he is slain by his sibling, he comes to respect him/her and view him/her as the next Lord/Lady of Murder and himself - as his right hand. This is why, he chose to stand next to the protagonist the more powerful sibling of him and not making it with the other Children of Bhaal, because he believes that the protagonist has the most potential and is the strongest of them.
