[edit] Biography
When asked about how he came to be in the employ of the Shadow Thieves, Edwin sneers that it is none of your business. In his opinion you are lucky enough to have encountered him at all, and further inquiries beyond this initial one will only serve to tempt fates. Despite his obstinate nature, there is a hint that his present circumstance is not all that favorable, and his willingness to join with you contradicts his supposed distaste for the company of others. Edwin ignores speculation about his recent past, but he does appear to place less emphasis on the Red Wizard colors that he has so brazenly displayed in the past. It is an understandable act for a wizard traveler in the mage-fearing Amn.
[edit] Party Information
Location
Edwin starts the game working for Mae'Var in his Guild Hall in the Docks District. To get him to join your party you must first agree to work for Renal Bloodscalp of the Thieves Guild. After completing quests for Mae'Var you will be delegated to Edwin, who will give you two further quests. Upon completion of these he will help you with the quest given by Renal Bloodscalp and offer to join your party. Whenever you dismiss him he goes to the Copper Coronet in the Slums.
Quests
Edwin's own quests will be set in motion upon entering the Graveyard District with him in your party. He wants to find the Nether Scroll. This quest carries on for several weeks.
Romance
Though there is no romance relating to him in the original game, a mod [1] adds the possibility of a romance between him and a female Player Character.
Conflict
Edwin will likely fight to the death with Minsc and Valygar. Sometimes this happens with Keldorn too though this seems avoidable.
[edit] Abilities
Weapon Proficiencies
- Dagger +
- Quarterstaff +
Special Abilities
Can cast two extra spells of every level he can cast spells of. This is on top of his bonus spells for being a specialist mage.
[edit] Notes
- His amulet cannot be removed (it grants him the extra spells).
- The only single class mage in Baldur's Gate II, and a specialist to boot. Edwin can cast more Wizard spells than anyone in the game, including any possible Player Character.
[edit] Ending
Edwin gained great renown in his travels with (Hero), and in the years following their association he would exploit that infamy. In time he achieved enough influence to subjugate even the Red Wizards themselves, becoming the greatest leader they had known in recent memory. Very recent memory, it turns out, as he was deposed scant days later. Such is the brief nature of Conquerors in Thay, practically lining up for their turn of power. His only notable appearance following this embarrassment was in a battle with Elminster of Shadowdale himself, a short affair that saw the end of Edwin's existence in the Realms. Edwina, however, tends a bar in a Waterdeep tavern. She is a bitter, bitter woman.
