| — Aradin offers a half-arsed explanation |
Aradin is an adventurer in Baldur's Gate 3. He and his adventuring party are searching for a treasure called The Nightsong.
 | Spoiler warning: The following content contains unhidden spoilers. Read at your own risk. |
Overview
Background
Aradin, alongside his other fellow adventurers, were offered a huge sum of money by a wizard in Baldur's Gate in exchange for a treasure called The Nightsong.
Their quest brought them to the Shattered Sanctum, underneath the Goblin Camp. Aradin's crew partnered up with the archdruid Halsin to attempt to infiltrate into the Shattered Sanctum, who had his own, different, reasons for wanting to go.
They failed, which left half of Aradin's crew dead and the druid Halsin either captured or dead. Aradin and his two remaining companions, Barth and Remira, fled to the Emerald Grove with goblins in hot pursuit.
Quests
Involvement
Act One
Aradin can be first encountered outside the Druid Grove, begging to be let in before the goblins chasing him arrive. As the player approaches, the goblins attack before Aradin can be let inside and combat begins. If Aradin survives the combat, he confronts Zevlor inside the Druid Grove and, depending on the players dialog choices and ability checks, his group will be found drinking in the grove or depart the grove.
If he departs, he can later be found outside the Blighted Village X: 84 Y: 411 among the bodies of his fallen companions; if not, he will stay in the Druid Grove. In either location, Aradin will tell the player he is giving up on his quest to find the Nightsong and will offer what he knows if the player is interested. This gives the player the quest Find the Nightsong.
Act Three
If alive, Aradin will be found arguing with an Animated Armour outside Sorcerous Sundries the Lower City.

Act 3: At Camp
If you told Aradin that the Nightsong was at your camp, failed the roll to lie to him about not knowing where she was, or failed the roll to persuade/intimidate him out of pursuing her, Aradin and his buddies will later attack you at camp, trying to reclaim her. You will have several dialogue options in this case, some of which can earn approval.

"You managed to track me down? I'd be impressed if I wasn't about to slit your throat."

Notes
- It was datamined in 2022 that Aradin's full name is Aradin Beno and his mercenary group is called The Beno Boys: "Aradin Beno. Leader of the Beno Boys. Adventurers for hire 'n' all."[1] This can be confirmed by using Speak with Dead on him or one of his crew members if they are killed at the player's camp.
