Edwin was human, so are you thinking he is a Lich at this point or just used magic to extend his life as Wizards do? Do you think he has taken over Lorroakan's tower and is manipulating events from there?
I was just going off this post from Gt27mustang, which includes a spoiler-tagged screenshot they mention is from Minsc and Boo's Journal of Villainy which I’m not sure is considered canon, though it is by James Ohlen who was lead designer for BG1&2 and according to Wikipedia has been working for a sort of subdivision of WotC since 2019 so while the Journal was published after the start of BG3 EA and isn’t badged as official WotC material, it doesn’t seem totally outside the bounds of possibility that this is a take that Larian had early access to via their collaboration with WotC and might pick up in BG3. Though I realise there’s lots of speculation there, so equally … perhaps not!
