Abdel is hated as much as Abby from The Last Of Us 2. WotC just used him and Viekang to bring Bhaal back from the dead. Canonically there's no way that would work if Abdel was the Bhaalspawn who defeated Amelyssan, because in order to remain mortal, he would have to allow the Solar to take his portion of Bhaal's essence to Mt. Celestia. I heard that even though Bhaal is back, he is not at full strength. Maybe it is because Gorion's Ward and Imoen's portions of his essence are still in Mt Celestia.


If it isn’t contradicted in the game, I’m going to headcanon that Alumyr died peacefully in his sleep, and even though he had given up the taint, his soul was acting as a lock that barred Bhaal from returning. After he died, Bhaal just remanifested in the world.

Don’t mess with my headcanon, Larian!


There is a problem with your headcanon. Bhaal remanifested after the death of Viekang and Abdel, and the murders conducted by Entar Silvershield's great grandson Torlin Silvershield, who was the herald of Bhaal's return. Viekang and Abdel were the last two children of Bhaal who still had his essence in their bodies. There is no way your Alumyr, or my human Fighter Ralis, or any other player's custom Gorion's Ward can act as a lock that keeps Bhaal from returning. Every children of Bhaal were used as a vessel to hold Bhaal's essence. Generally when they die, their bodies quickly turn into ash because of Bhaal's essence leaving them.


That will only contradict my headcanon if any of it is actually mentioned in BG3. If it isn’t, I’m in the clear.
