Clearly I used the term 'info dump' a little prematurely, I can only applaud the time and effort you put into this compendium, annotations and all.
I'll admit I skipped around to the most interesting material a little, but...
The confusion between "Gorion's Ward" and this Abdel fellow seems pretty pertinent, especially if after Throne of Bhaal the next chronological entry in the Bhaalspawn canon coming from WotC is "Murder in Baldur's Gate". Viekang didn't seem like such a bad sort but I suppose a hundred years can wear a man down, but more to the point, I'm still unsure if the confusion with Abdel is WotC trying to retcon a few things into a new 'canon' character, possibly in preparation for Baldur's Gate 3, or if indeed this guys is just a totally new character (possible Candlekeep cameo aside).
This didn't happen that long before BG:3 and the politics of Baldur's Gate will no doubt play more than an ancillary role in the new game so this shouldn't be inconsequential and it will certainly make people ask a lot of questions about what became of 'their' hero.
