Hello,
In the Act I in Grimforge location we can save drow Nere , after the event with rescuing him from the trap we have the chance to save him from Absolute influence by the right choices in the dialogue , then he just leave the Grimforge and his story ends there.
For now this character looks like cutted content from the game: Nere have his own appearance (not NPC's standart) , his own voice actor , interesting manner of behavior.
This would be a great idea to add Nere as a companion in the future updates/dlcs , especially for players who choose Minthara's side in the Act I. Other three lore companions (Gale , Karlach & Wyll) will run away in tears with this choice

. Nere will be good companion to replace those 3 fugutives.
Anyway Nere is a colorful character! Hope to see him as a companion in the future updates!
