It would be neat if Wizards of the Coast will allow this, but it would be so awesome as a easter egg if we could find the Tomb where he is laid to rest in Baldur's Gate City. Yes I'm going by the books and the books are a somewhat different from the games, but the only thing to note from the books is the few key scenes from the final end when Bhaal got resurrected, nothing else matters from the books (so basically tying the Player's versions of the events with the final end from the books). Would be a nice touch to show that the players of Baldur's Gate to find their previous character laid buried and honored as a hero if he didn't choose to become a god and you can find the Sword of Chaos inside his tomb.

OR alternatively if such a idea is not well recieved in this forum, maybe the Duke's Daughter from BG1 and Siege of Dragonspear? If you all played the game then you all know what happened. Reason I suggest this is because we believe BeamDog will not have this plot point resolved, and it would be a good chance for Larian Studios to tie up a very loose end from Siege of Dragonspear.

EDIT:

I forgot one thing, but if you all do end up doing it then it would be cool to hear "The Stage is Set" when you find the tomb from the BG1 OST.


I´ve also read the books and it is far better to see those as two different characters ( It was years ago but I still remember how the books messed up badly the lore, the story and the personalities of most of the characters, especially Imoen and Jaheira. And I still cannot forget the luscious red hair of Misc, the flirt imoen-melissan and the death of Xan in the books...).

In the interview in Kotaku´s potcast Swen Vincke, CEO of Larian confirmed that they will use the canon ending of WOTC, not the previous games or the books https://kotaku.com/the-ranger-class-is-getting-some-changes-in-d-d-and-ba-1835659585
And the prequels will be the PA from WotC "Murder in baldur´s gate" and "Descent into avernus".

So the canon end of BG series of WotC diverges from the books (thank god) and the different endings of the game (sadly) . That canon end is that the "Hero of BG" is a human mercenary (Neutral Human fighter) from Candlekeep called Abdel Adrian who chose to forfeit divinity and lived 136 years, becoming a member of the Flaming Fist and later Duke and Marshall of Baldur´s gate around 1384 DR, after the failed coup of Grand Duke Valarken. After the events in "Murder in BG" he died. Despite protests from those in the Lower and Outer City, Abdel had a somber funeral in the Upper City and his body was placed under High Hall, where those who claimed to love him most could not freely visit.

Duke Abdel Adrian
Among Baldurians, Duke Abdel Adrian is universally
considered to be the city’s greatest hero, second only to
Balduran the Brave.
The wizard Gorion raised
Adrian in Candlekeep, but
Adrian, a child of Bhaal,
was swept up in a series of
deadly events orchestrated
by his half-siblings, the
Bhaalspawn. Adrian’s life as
an adventurer became noto
rious when he saved Baldur’s
Gate from the Iron Throne’s
--
machinations and killed his Duke Abdel Adrian
half-brother Sarevok to avert
a war with Amn.
Afterward, Adrian fought countless battles against
people seeking to use his Bhaalspawn blood for
nefarious purposes. Baldurians know little ofthese
adventures, and few people alive today comprehend
the meaning of Adrian’s status as a Bhaalspawn. Most
people believe the God of Murder is long dead and,
if they know anything of Adrian’s story, that their
beloved duke made certain Bhaal remained dead.
Following his adventuring days, Adrian lived for a
time in contemplation in Candlekeep. He eventually
decided to settle in Baldur’s Gate, which had become
his second home.
Adrian joined the Flaming Fist as a private and
quickly ascended through the mercenary company’s
ranks. Lower City citizens respected his courage and
dashing ways, and Outer City residents loved him for his
charitable works. After Valarken killed the Flaming Fist’s
marshal, who was also a duke, Adrian replaced him in
both positions. He originally tried to turn down his ducal
nomination, but public acclaim was too strong, and the
military leader reluctantly accepted the post.
Adrian is more than a century old, and his divine
heritage has kept him well preserved. He appears to
be in his sixties, and his body retains the strength of
youth. At nearly 7 feet in height, Adrian towers over
most Baldurians. Black hair frames his unrelenting eyes
and slightly wizened face. Unlike other dukes, he wears
comfortable, plain garments and shuns jewelry. The
only time he dresses as a state official is for parades.
Adrian rarely speaks at council meetings. But when
he does, his voice for moderation carries tremendous
weight. Most days, Duke Adrian walks the city’s streets,
talking with citizens; helping them in their daily labors;
and offering charity, an encouraging word, or a stern
reprimand as needed. He sometimes seems grim and
lost in thoughts, perhaps of days past, but the Flaming
Fist marshal and Council of Four duke is also known to
break out in great guffaws when the occasion arises


So If you want to visit a tomb, the only one that will probably be in the game is that one.

To be honest, nothing in the story of That Abdel Adrian relates to any characters I played in the BG series, so I think I will also consider them as separate entities like @Bladedancer, even if it is not the case.
