I had a theory that the Absolute is Melissan from BG2 TOB. She had absorbed a great portion of Bhaal. The Absolute is a female, or so they called her a she. Perhaps she has absorbed the portfolios of the Dead Three, becoming the new Jergal.
While many refer to the Absolute as "She", there a few goblins in the game who use "He".
Hmmm... I don't recall anyone calling the Absolute a "He", but either way... If Mellisan has absorbed the essences of 3 male dead gods, she might refer to herself mostly as a "She" but sometimes also as a "He".
Anyway. Just a theory. It would certainly tie BG1 and 2 to 3 very closely.
