I remain hopeful that the exact identity of Gorion’s Ward and what they did will be fudged so we can head canon in our own characters as much as possible, but even if so would expect that to be accomplished by omission of unnecessary detail about specific elements of the established FR lore that could contradict our own BG1 & BG2 playthroughs rather than by actually giving us the opportunity to specify their events and responding to them.
I’m hoping Larian can hit the sweet spot between being so vague about BG1/2 that it doesn’t feel as though BG3 is the same story and being so specific that it rules out too many different Charnames.
And we already know, for example, that only possible worlds in which Minsc and Jaheira survived will be consistent with BG3. Though, to be fair, that was also true of BG2 even if they died in BG1!
