It's a heroic fantasy story. Here is my conclusion. (Spoiler if you haven't finished the game )
You, my friend, are a demi-god, although you may not realize it. Fate has decreed that you will lead this party of selected godly-touched heroes, like Iason led the argonauts. Jergal even sends an avatar to protect and help you on your mission, like Athena and Hermes helped Perseus defeat Medusa. Even though he still had to do the hard work himself.
After finishing the game once, and especially now running the DU campaign as second PT, this is for me the only reasonable backstory of my hero.
Imagine all the primordial Gods that get involved. Mystra, Shar, Selune (Dame Ailyn), Jergal and the 3 upstart dead Gods. You can't leave that to just anyone. We were all meticulously picked out.
As DU it's clear where the demi-godhood comes from. In the other PT, as I was halfdrow, I think I'd want Elistraee as my divine foremother.
