It is also possible that we'll face an NPC Durge who'd turn out to be a Sorcerer/Assassin hybrid or smth.
I've been mainly focusing on how badly the Sorcerer tag on the website seems to fit the origin at least from what we can tell so far. But I will say, I don't think that there will ever be any canon asigned to this game and if they ever declare a canon it would be purely for the purpose of story continuity to another game where they can't account for all the possible BG3 endings but I don't think there will ever be a direct sequel from here. This is the end of the story of the dead three. If there is more Baldur's Gate it would be an entirely new story with completely unrelated plot, etc. But even if they were to declare one ending canon for such a purpose I doubt it would be a Dark Urge story...it would most likely be a best possible good aligned custom character ending. And if a Dark Urge specific story wouldn't be declared canon then the entire origin would be as good as nonexitent and entirely non-canon regardless of what the website says now.

True. The whole idea of pondering the canonical class has to do with a specific desire of making at least a single run thats as close to developer's vision of 'canon' as possible. It is a specific request I have in those games after experiencing them for dozens of times. I think having both interpretive and streamlined edges to your game is very helpful for rounding up the experience as a whole. Games like this support a great deal of replayability and it is nice to have an anchor point amongst the myriads of ever-changing player iterations of the plot.
