I hope Abdel Adrian is only used for out-of-BG DnD properties, and it is heavily implied that "Gorion's Ward" is the protagonist from previous games. Just open to interpretation stuff.
Yep, totally agree.
Or maybe there's a plot twist and it turns out we are still Gorion's Ward (again, joking, haha, but what if maybe?). I think it would be really cool if somehow before his "death," Irenicus survived and through plot-like bullshit became tadpoled and a potential Origin character. Like you-know-who becoming a companion in Throne of Bhaal. After all, anyone can be level one with the tadpole due to it turning all of the once-powerful origins into chumps.
Personally, I feel the stories of both Gorion’s Ward and Jon Irenicus are done so confess I’d be extremely dubious about either of them being brought back into BG3 in any form. Plus I’m hoping that it will be clarified that it’s not the tadpoles that are reducing anyone’s level (as per
this thread). But I did have a perverse soft spot for Sarevok so if there is some way that he could be “alive”despite Bhaal’s return AND there was a genuine plot reason to have him as part of the story then I’d not be upset
